Kansas-OSU game prediction
After suffering two straight blowout losses, the Jayhawks have a chance to bounce back strong against a struggling Oklahoma State squad.
The Cowboys’ defense is one of the worst in the nation. OSU ranks No. 135 out of 136 schools in points allowed per game (38.9). Teams are averaging 456.5 yards of total offense against the Cowboys, with nearly 300 coming through the air.
So, expect Kansas quarterback Jalon Daniels to have a good game. That would be welcomed, as he had his worst of the season against Kansas State last week.
OSU’s offense, meanwhile, hasn’t been much better than its defense. The Cowboys rank No. 132 in the country in points scored per game (14.5). That’s mostly due to their inability to pass the ball. OSU is averaging just 161.1 passing yards and 0.5 passing touchdowns per game.
I expect the Jayhawks to get on the board early and not look back. And pay attention to KU kicker Laith Marjan: He is one made kick away from breaking a school record.
He is currently tied for the most consecutive made field goals in Jayhawks history — Dodge Schwartzburg also made 11 straight in 1984. Marjan is on pace to break that 40-year-old mark against Oklahoma State.
Records aside, I expect KU to dominate the Pokes on Saturday.
Prediction: Kansas 42, OSU 21
Shreyas’ pick to cover: OSU (+24.5)
Season record: 6-2
Season record (ATS): 4-4.
