I want I used to be extra optimistic about this sport than I’m for KU. On the constructive facet, I do suppose the Jayhawks will be capable to rating a good quantity and I feel there can be a bump for everybody if Jalon Daniels is ready to go at quarterback (and I do really feel like he’ll get the decision, though that’s only a hunch). The Texas run sport worries me, although, as a result of it’s not particularly thrilling to image Bijan Robinson matching up in opposition to a protection that has been spotty at greatest for a lot of the season. The deciding matchup of this sport, in my view, is the KU protection versus Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers. If the freshman Texas pivot is as erratic as he’s been within the final two Longhorns losses and the Jayhawks can pressure a pair turnovers, that could be sufficient to swing the sport in KU’s favor. I’m hopeful however considerably pessimistic.

Ever since KU beat Texas on a final second area aim a couple of years again, I’ve predicted the Jayhawks to beat them. Final 12 months, I predicted KU to win two video games, one in opposition to Texas. So, do you suppose I’m choosing in opposition to the crimson and blue this time? Nope. I’m going KU in a runaway on senior day.

Kansas 50, Texas 30.

The Kansas Jayhawks can be taking part in their ultimate house sport of the 2022 season in opposition to the Texas Longhorns. Not solely is it the ultimate house sport however it’s also senior day and there are some essential seniors leaving this squad. With that being mentioned the Jayhawks are going to be extremely motivated to play a really well-rounded Longhorns soccer group. If we recall the beginning of the turnaround for the Jayhawk soccer program occurred in Texas final 12 months versus the Longhorns. Kansas goes to have a tricky problem containing top-of-the-line operating backs within the nation Bijan Robinson together with a really gifted freshman quarterback Quinn Ewers. On the alternative facet rumors are Jalon Daniels has been cleared and could possibly be doubtlessly on the quarterback place on Saturday. Regardless of the quarterback the Jayhawks must throw the soccer in opposition to top-of-the-line Huge 12 run defenses within the Texas Longhorns. I’ve religion which is why I consider.

I have been torn on this sport for fairly some time. Texas has regarded higher this season than I believed they’d, however they proceed to be singularly centered on offense. Ewers has not damaged out in the best way that numerous Texas followers appeared to anticipate, and I feel the Jayhawks are well-positioned to make the most of his inexperience. However the greatest query is that if Kansas can cease Bijan Robinson and the Texas operating sport.

We have seen a number of occasions the place this protection has given up large performs early, solely to make vital changes that decelerate the opponent. It takes a group that may counter these changes to stay profitable, and Texas is just not a group that has carried out that very nicely this 12 months. In the end, I’ve to stay optimistic and I feel Kansas pulls this one out late.
