Kansas needs its offense to travel

Kansas averages 441.4 yards per game, including 201.2 on the ground, but its 0-3 away record makes production outside Lawrence the central question. Isaiah Marshall leads the team in passing yards, while Dylan Edwards leads its rushing attack. The Jayhawks have enough offensive variety to challenge West Virginia.

The Jayhawks have lost four of their last five completed games, although their 32-33 loss to UCF and 25-24 win over Baylor show how narrow some of those margins have been. The road results have been less encouraging: Kansas scored 16 at TCU and 24 apiece at Kansas State and Utah, losing all three. Against TCU, a closer game still ended in defeat. Kansas has stayed competitive at times, but turning respectable stretches into enough points away from home remains its challenge.

West Virginia can score, but can it contain Kansas?

West Virginia averages 37.2 points and 263.6 rushing yards per game, with Cam Cook leading the team in rushing yards. That attack gives the Mountaineers a clear way to dictate stretches of play. Their defense, however, allows 34.6 points and 501.0 yards per game, leaving room for Kansas to respond.

The Mountaineers have won two of their last five completed games, and each result illustrates a different side of their outlook. They scored 45 in a three-point home win over Cincinnati, then put up 48 in a five-point loss at Texas Tech. Their 24-20 win at TCU showed they can prevail in a lower-scoring game, but home games against Arizona and Cincinnati also saw them concede 52 and 42, respectively. Sustaining offensive pressure has been easier than keeping opponents from answering.
