WVU is entering this game with a 0-1 record overall to start their college football season and they will be playing their 1st home game of the season. They lost against the Pittsburgh Panthers in their last game on the road 38-31. JT Daniels started that game at QB and he completed 23/40 passes for 214 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception. CJ Donaldson led the team in rushing with 125 yards and 1 TD on 7 rushing attempts. Bryce Wheaton led the team in receiving with 97 yards and 2 TDs on 9 receptions. Lee Kpogba led the defense in that game with 5 solo tackles and 5 assisted tackles. Jared Bartlett and Dante Stills both led the defense in sacks with 1.5 each while no one on the defense came away with an interception for them in that one.

The current betting odds have WVU listed as a 13.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. WVU just had a really good game where they just came up short against Pittsburgh but they played very well in that game and were even leading for a good portion of that game as they stayed in it all night. JT Daniels is fitting into this offense nicely as he had a great game against the Pitt defense and he will only continue to grow in this offense still being in his first year with them. He is going to come out with another great performance here and they aren't really playing a very good program for the past few years. Kansas has had a very bad program for years now and they usually finish last place in the Big 12 as they struggle to even win games against FBS teams. They had a very nice 46 point win over a team from the FCS in their last game but, they didn't even play that great on offense and they really didn't have a lot of offensive production at all. They will struggle to move the ball against the WVU defense and JT Daniels will lead this offense to a few scoring drives on this bad Kansas defense. The best way to place a bet here is on WVU to cover the spread in this game.

“Travis Goff and Chancellor (Douglas) Girod, they’ve seen some of the progress we have made in the program as a staff. This is … again we continue to work toward stability and building this program the right way.” - Lance Leipold on his contract extension as head coach.

 

 

“We ran the ball really well. I thought (quarterback) JT Daniels was sharp, especially for the first game (23 of 40 for 214 yards with two touchdowns and one interception), taking into consideration he wasn’t here in the spring. We also made quite a few explosive plays.” - Neal Brown after his team’s loss against Pitt in their last game.
