The Kansas Jayhawks are looking to rebound from a 23-17 loss to Illinois as they face the 2-0 UNLV Rebels this Friday at Children's Mercy Park. Quarterback Jalon Daniels must improve his performance after struggling in the Illinois game, where he threw two interceptions. Kansas' defense needs to tighten up, especially against UNLV's potent offense, and the team is advised to return to a strong running game led by Devin Neal, who previously had significant success. Despite recent struggles, Kansas is still a -7 point favorite and aims to prove critics wrong after their preseason hype diminished. The game is crucial for Kansas to stabilize their season and regain confidence. Kickoff is set for 7:00 PM EDT, with a total over/under of 58 points, promising an exciting matchup.
