The Kansas front seven has another big test coming up after it has succeeded the last two weeks against dangerous ground attacks. The Jayhawks are only giving up 111.7 rushing yards per game. It’s likely to go up in Big 12 play, given the talent at running back across the league, but that’s still a 50-yard improvement from last year’s rush defense.

The faster that one of these teams gets a win, the faster it gets to close the door on a forgetful nonconference schedule. West Virginia (1-2) and Kansas (1-2) are not supposed to be here entering conference play.
