BYU vs Kansas Preview
The Big-12 is back, and this game promises to have early conference implications, with both teams coming in undefeated.
“Every team is dangerous in this conference,” BYU head coach Kalani Sitake said the week leading up to this game. “We happen to play one in Kansas right now. So that’s all we’re focused on. But I know all those coaches. I’ve been able to be around them in meetings, and I see their teams. I’ve watched enough film to know that these guys are really good coaches and they know how to get their teams ready. I need to do my part to match the level of play and standard that they have. That means starting this week with Kansas.”
The Jayhawks have scored at least 31 points in all three of their games so far this season, and they enter this one riding high. Kansas is fresh from a 31-23 victory over Nevada last week. Jayhawks QB Jalon Daniels went 21-27 for 298 yards, while running back Devin Neal ran for 89 yards and scored three of the team’s four rushing TDs in the victory.
Kansas is putting up 37.7 points a game on offense, while allowing 21.3 points per contest on the defensive side.
On the other side, the Cougars are coming off a 38-31 win over Arkansas last weekend. BYU quarterback Kedon Slovis went 13-25 for 167 yards and two TDs in the win, while running back LJ Martin added 77 yards and two scores on the ground.
BYU is averaging 31.0 points a game on offense, and on defense, it is allowing 15.7 points a game. The Cougars have a solid mix of veteran upperclassmen on both sides of the ball, and it’s a big reason why the team is off to its hot start.
“Well, again, I think what is probably made a lot about is, of course, probably the age and maturity of the team,” Jayhawks head coach Lance Leipold said, via the Salt Lake City Tribune. “You know, I think average age of the roster is like, over, is 22 years old, or something, versus what a traditional college roster is. So the size and maturity and those things, experience. Well-coached.”
These two teams have met once before, back in 1992 in the Aloha Bowl. The Jayhawks won, 23-20.
