I can not let you know how badly I wish to drink the Kool-Support for this matchup. KU continues to be using excessive whereas Houston has been something however convincing by means of two video games, each of which went to a number of overtimes. I count on a whole lot of factors and a detailed contest, however I believe the Cougars’ expertise degree will likely be just a bit an excessive amount of for the Jayhawks.

Not like Brendan, I’m chugging the Kool-Support. I don’t care. When was the final time I may get this enthusiastic about this soccer workforce? 2009? Jalon Daniels and the offense has been superior and the workforce has some actual confidence. I’m gonna go all in and say that KU wins, nevertheless it’s shut.

The Kansas Jayhawks are coming off of an enormous victory in Morgantown. Workforce morale and fan morale are at an all-time excessive because the Jayhawks head on the highway to Houston to tackle the Cougars. This can be a very winnable sport for Kansas and in the event that they follow the sport plan I see them profitable. Jalon Daniels has been enjoying tremendously at quarterback and the working backs have been capable of cohesively work as a unit. The protection might want to tighten up on the chunk performs allowed and restrict the errors. Key penalties may have an effect on this sport. I anticipate head coach Lance Leipold could have this workforce able to go. Proper now the unfold is +8.5 for Kansas and their cash line is +260. I’m taking each.

Coming into the 12 months, this was the nonconference sport that seemed like it could be essentially the most troublesome one for Kansas to win. Houston was thought of one of many favorites within the AAC and lots of thought they may have an opportunity to be this 12 months’s Cincinnati. Now, that dream is useless and Houston is simply searching for constant play earlier than they get to convention play.

The Kansas offense has been a lot better than anticipated, and there have been some promising indicators from the protection, however the factor that provides me essentially the most hope is that Houston has overwhelmed themselves a number of instances this 12 months. They WILL make errors on the offense that the protection could have an opportunity to reap the benefits of.

The depth and number of choices for the Jayhawks will make them troublesome for Houston to deal with, particularly given the Cougars tendency to wrestle with cellular quarterbacks. Kansas will rating typically and early, and so they find yourself taking this one house.
