Kansas at West Virginia: Watch the Secondaries - Rock Chalk Podcast

Despite both teams having strong rushing attacks, the consensus is that the passing games will decide this game. Brandon Phoenix of the Raspy Voice Kids joins the show to preview today's game.

The Kansas Jayhawks are ready for the beginning of conference play, as they are in Morgantown tonight to take on the West Virginia Mountaineers. And that means that it's time to check back in with Brandon Phoenix of the Raspy Voice Kids to figure out what to expect from this team after a heartbreaking loss to Pittsburgh to open the season.

We ran through how that game could carry over into this week before running through both sides of the ball. JT Daniels played well against Pitt, but will West Virginia be able to lean on the strength of their team? Plus, we look at where Kansas can bring some pressure on both sides of the ball. And of course we can't end without making some picks.

The episode started by diving into the effects of the loss to Pittsburgh. Brandon shared what he actually learned from that game that he didn't already know, before figuring out if West Virginia fans need to be worried about playcalling moving forward. Plus, we identified how the Mountaineers can show that they've moved on from that loss.

After the break, we dive into the matchups. We start by talking about how West Virginia will plan to attack the Jayhawks. Will JT Daniels be able to find success against the Kansas secondary? Will the running game be able to run downhill? Will the offensive line be able to hold up against a deep defensive line rotation for Kansas?

On the other side of the ball, Kansas may prefer to run the ball. But success will be dictated by how well Jalon Daniels can attack a depleted West Virginia secondary. And the lack of a true number one receiving threat may work to their advantage. And of course, we wrap up with some picks.
