Since it is our first shot at a conference championship in years, I would think we come in and cover.
I bet we see some inspire play from our seniors. A championship appearance on the line for guys whose first two seasons were an absolute train wreck. Remember how excited these guys were to go bowling last year. Even more excitement against KU.
With Bue at QB, i don't anticipate many points. If we get ahead, will we want to get backups some snaps without messing up redshirts?
Or maybe Heard? They can win without Sam I think. Maybe start Bue and see if he’s needed? A little scary though
Brandon Jones is questionable. Josh Thompson supposed to return to practice this week and will be re-evaluated on Thursday.
Too many points... The smart thing to do is run the hell out of the ball and burn clock. This would have the side effect of keeping the score low. I would hope that the D can contain Kansas to less than 20 points. With crappy weather, I don't see this being a score-fest, so I would spot the 15.5-16 points and take the under.
If our D plays like it did against ISU then we win, and cover, and ku is held to less than 20. D is the real key to whipping ku.
