Kansas vs. BYU Preview: Can BYU's Defense Hold Up vs. Jayhawks?
Transcript
00:00 the game that I gotta say,
00:05 I don't know if this is because of you,
00:07 works for my eyes, Kansas BYU.
00:10 It's just, it's pleasant for me on the eyes.
00:12 Maybe it's because BYU brought me so many good laughs
00:15 last week with their defensive performance
00:17 against the Razorbacks,
00:18 but we do have the Jayhawks laying eight and a half
00:20 on the road, total in this game is moving up
00:22 from 54 and a half, now sitting at 56 and a half.
00:26 What do you think about BYU and Kansas here?
00:29 The Jalen Daniels rushing prop to me was again,
00:31 a little interesting, but we're still getting used to him
00:34 still being fully back, back, back for Kansas.
00:37 - We saw BYU make a second half adjustment
00:39 against KJ Jefferson.
00:40 They shut them down.
00:41 They forced some turnovers in the second half
00:43 of that ball game and pulled away for the double digit win.
00:46 I will say this, potential, it's back to back road games,
00:50 not potential letdown spot,
00:51 but the ability for Jalen Daniels on the perimeter
00:55 of that BYU defense, to me,
00:57 from the football's perspective, Ben,
00:59 is where I give the edge to Kansas.
01:01 I think they roll in this ball game.
01:03 A lot of money coming in on BYU.
01:05 Look for Kansas to abuse them.
01:07 I think 14 to 17 point win today.
01:09 - Listen, somebody on this set needed to hit a best bet
01:12 last week and they turned to KU's quarterback
01:15 in Jalen Daniels over 256 and a half.
01:18 His passing yards number against Nevada,
01:20 he threw for 298, 277 against Illinois the Friday prior.
01:25 Against a BYU defense that allowed KJ Jefferson
01:28 to throw for 247 last week,
01:31 Jalen Daniels' prop this week,
01:32 I think is an area to look in this football game.
01:35 It will be interesting for Kansas now in Big 12 play.
01:38 Joe, last year they started a perfect five and O
01:41 and then we're four, four and one
01:42 against the spread in conference play,
01:44 only three and six straight up.
01:46 If Kansas can prove they are one of the top 25 teams
01:50 of the country with a statement win at home today
01:53 in Lawrence in this Big 12 opener,
01:55 I think that goes a long way for KU the rest of the year.
