Why Kansas Will Win

There weren’t any issues the first time around.

The Jayhawks ripped through West Virginia back in late December 79-65 by making a season-high – by a mile – 16 of 37 shots from three as they kept bombing and West Virginia couldn’t do much to stop it.

The offense continues to move the ball around well, and this is the best rebounding team in the Big 12, even though the wheels have come off over the last six games. However …

Why West Virginia Will Win

The Kansas defense has taken a bit of a break on the road.

The D was fine in home wins over struggling TCU and Kansas State teams, but before that were three straight road games followed up by a trip to Tennessee, and the D was torn to shreds in those four losses.

West Virginia is solid from three, it seemingly grabs every offensive rebound, and it has the chops to more than hold its own against a team that lives off of dominating the rebound margin.

What’s Going To Happen

Kansas is struggling way too much on the road lately.

West Virginia might not be consistent, but it’s been able to score well enough and has been strong enough from three keep giving the Jayhawk D problems.

The Kansas outside shooting has gone cold, West Virginia will take advantage on the boards, and an entertaining game will go to the home side as it hits everything on the line late.

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.
