Summary
In the final installment of Until Saturday's conference X-factors, Ari Wasserman, Max Olson, and Justin Williams (as well as Sam Khan Jr., whose internet lost the battle against Hurricane Beryl) list their X-factors for each Big 12 program ahead of media days in Las Vegas. Can a trio of young receivers in the state of Texas help their programs to a big year? Will Kansas' newest addition keep Jalon Daniels healthy? Plus, Ari explains the Fast Food Triple Crown while the crew attempts to solve a Skyline Chili mystery.
