Kansas vs West Virginia Game Preview

Why Kansas Will Win

Kansas had an … easy win?

Not even the FCS cupcake games are sure-thing layups for the Jayhawks over the years, but the program has players now, it has a head coach in Lance Leipold armed with a contract boost, and this whole thing might start to turn fast.

It’s still going to be a struggle in the Big 12, but the offense was balanced in the 56-10 win over Tennessee Tech, QB Jalon Daniels continues to prove he’s going to be a problem for the rest of the conference, and the running game that ran for six touchdowns and close to ten yards per carry should be able to …

Why West Virginia Will Win

It’s not going to be easy for Kansas to run.

West Virginia lost in a good 38-31 battle with Pitt, but it got a huge day out of a defensive front that lived behind the line and didn’t give up a thing on the ground.

So what went wrong? Too many penalty, two turnovers, and a hot Kedon Slovis in the clutch ended up being the difference, but the offense was balanced, JT Daniels was fine – even if there weren’t enough downfield plays – and …

What’s Going To Happen

Welcome to CJ Donaldson.

The big freshman tight end/running back/receiver/Cordarrelle Patterson made things happen whenever he had the ball in his hands, Daniels is going to get more time to work than he had against the Panthers, and the defense will take care of the rest.

This isn’t going to be your normal Kansas pushover – again, it has playmakers now – but the West Virginia lines will own this.

Why Kansas Will Win

So what is Kansas doing right?

It’s been a rough run all the way around over the first three games, but there is a running game there that has to keep being fed. It’s not hitting four yards per carry, but there’s talent in the backfield with Velton Gardner and Pooka Williams who need the ball in their hands.

Run, keep running, and try to control the clock. Kansas isn’t getting hammered in the time of possession battle and it’s not turning the ball over enough to matter, but …

Why West Virginia Will Win

The Kansas lines have been awful.

The offensive front isn’t consistently doing enough for the excellent backs, it’s not doing much of anything in pass protection, and the defensive front isn’t getting into the backfield. The Jayhawks have generated just three sacks and 15 tackles for loss so far – they’re just not generating enough big plays.

KU is dead-last among all Big 12 teams in total offense, West Virginia leads the conference in total defense. The pass rush is solid, the secondary has been great, and there won’t be the passing game from the Jayhawks to be a problem.

What’s Going To Happen

Kansas hasn’t had any fun, with the biggest problem the health of head coach Les Miles after he tested positive for COVID-19. He’s doing okay, but he obviously has had more important things to deal with.

On the field, Kansas doesn’t have enough pop to the offense to push through a Mountaineer defense that’s 2-0 when allowing 75 rushing yards or fewer and gave up 203 yards in the loss to Oklahoma State.

Kansas isn’t getting to 200 yards and it’s not going to be able to control the game like it’ll need to.

Why Kansas Will Win

How did Kansas beat the Mountaineers the first time around? The defense dominated from the perimeter.

The Jayhawks couldn’t make a thing from three, either, but they were better from the field, they got on a big second half run, and they were able to keep down a middling O.

West Virginia turns the ball over way too much, KU blocks everything on the inside, and it’s good enough on the boards to not get hammered by the always-active team that makes up for its mistakes with hustle plays and …

Why West Virginia Will Win

Offensive rebounds.

That’s it. That’s the game. WVU leads the nation with over 15 offensive boards per game. Kansas might be second-best in the Big 12 on the glass – behind the Mountaineers – but it lost the battle on the boards by 14 in Lawrence.

This is a whole difference WVU team at home. All five of its losses are on the road, going 15-0 so far. Everyone has a home court advantage, but for an energy team like this, it’s a whole different animal when the big boys have to come to Morgantown.

What’s Going To Happen

The rebounds will be all the difference.

This is a hot Kansas team that’s doing a great job of battling in relatively low-scoring games – the defense is getting it done over the offense – but this is when the offensive talent needs to shine through.

Instead, the Mountaineers will force the big mistakes, they’ll stop everything from three, and they’ll dominate the rebounding margin to do just enough to pull off the giant win.
