How Does Kansas Bounce Back?
Kansas still has everything in front of them, but they are coming off a bad loss in the last game. Kansas continued to turn the ball over against Illinois and that led to the 23-17 defeat. In the first game against Lindenwood, Kansas was able to secure the 48-3 victory. Jalon Daniels is under center for Kansas and against Illinois he completed 18 of his 32 passes for 141 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions.
Devin Neal rushed 14 times for 101 yards, but they abandoned the running game late, and they can’t do that again here. Neal is going to need to be given more carries as the season goes on. In this game, If Kansas wants to win this game they are going to need to limit the turnovers and the defense is going to need to try to create a couple of turnovers.
UNLV Has Confidence
UNLV has all kinds of confidence right now, and they can make a statement with a victory in this game.

Greg Burrell and Hajj-Malik Williams both ran wild. Sluka finished with 11 carries for 101 yards and a touchdown, while Williams finished with 10 carries for 88 yards. In this game, if the defense finds success and creates a couple of turnovers, they should be in good shape. They also need to find a way to slow down the run. They are going to give up some points here, but the lower scoring this game is, the better the chance that UNLV is going to come away with a victory or a cover.
Kansas vs UNLV Prediction
Give me UNLV here. I am confident that Kansas will do a better job of running the game late, but UNLV’s offense is going to find success here. UNLV has been running wild, and they are going to continue to run wild here. I still think Kansas is going to win this game, but this is way too many points. UNLV is going to run up the score, and they are going to keep this game close. Back UNLV against the spread.
