As the season winds down, BYU travels to face Kansas for the final time this year. Early betting lines have BYU as a 7.5-point road favorite, with a combined total of 50.5 points. Kansas' recent victory over West Virginia highlighted their strong performance on the road, while their offense has been particularly potent, with quarterback Isaiah Marshall leading the charge with dual-threat capabilities.
Marshall, known for his exceptional rushing ability, has amassed over 100 yards in four of Kansas' last six games, showcasing his dual-threat potential. Despite Kansas' current 4-6 record, they have proven to be a competitive team, with a 2-0 head-to-head record against BYU in their matchups as Big 12 opponents.
For BYU, securing a win against Kansas is crucial to maintain their aspirations for the Big 12 title and a coveted spot in the College Football Playoff. On the other hand, Kansas is eagerly fighting to secure bowl eligibility, making this matchup of significance beyond just the win-loss record.
