The Kansas Jayhawks have been an interesting team to watch this year, purely for the fact that the expectations for them were much higher than where they currently stand. Similarly to TCU, Kansas hasn't found their rhythm yet this year. One can expect Kansas to use everybody on their roster to stop the wheels from falling off this week after 3 straight losses.

Kansas Depth Chart Notes

Unfortunately for TCU, Kansas can run the ball. Keep an eye on star running back Devin Neal this weekend. Coach Sonny Dykes said on Tuesday that he expects the Jayhawks to run the ball over 70% of the time against TCU. Not only is Neal a premier running back in college football, but Kansas runs a similar style of offense to UCF, utilizing dual running backs with the addition of Daniel Hishaw Jr. Hishaw has been an explosive back for the Jayhawks averaging over 7 yds/carry this season.

Kansas's defense has been a little below average in the Big 12 so far this season. However, the rushing defense has been decent this year because of defensive end Jereme Robinson. Robinson has seven solo tackles with 3.5 sacks in only four games. Like the SMU and UCF games, this week will be won in the trenches.
