Kansas vs West Virginia Prediction
I’ll stick with West Virginia. The Mountaineers are coming off a tough road loss to a very good Texas Tech team last weekend, finishing with 582 yards, 18 first downs and 7-of-15 on third downs. WVU gave up 638 yards and 26 first downs on the other side during a wild shootout loss 53-48. The Mountaineers are still 2-1 in the last three however, with 45 or more points scored in two of those games. This is probably West Virginia’s best chance to get that crucial sixth win, as they’ve got Houston and Utah looming in their final two outings.
As for Kansas, they lost a tough one to Central Florida last weekend. The Jayhawks finished with 404 yards on offense alongside 194 rush yards, 19 first downs, two lost fumbles and 6-of-14 on third downs. Kansas gave up 358 yards on the other side but did pretty well on third downs (4-of-12) and had a couple of takeaways. The Jayhawks have been pretty competitive over their last two losses, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see them hang around in this one.
