5.5 pt spread. Being less than a touchdown underdog against an arguably top 25 team is a long way to come in a year. Sagarin has us rated 83rd this year which is actually too low, we should probably be in the 60s. For comparison, I think last season is the first time we cracked the top 100 in many, many years (93rd).
We have the best player on the field in Pooka. KSU has better lines on both sides of the ball. It will be a slugfest but hopefully Carter pulls it out. My head says KSU by 10.
Line play matters. We struggle on both sides, K-State doesn't. I agree with Protist, this is just a bad match-up for us. They will run the ball and eat up clock
No turnovers means a KU loss, most likely in the range of 34-21. If we get a few, we've got a shot. No three and outs!
Honestly, very predictable. Line play matters and we simply don't have any quality lineman on either side of the ball. Sadly, it will take a few years before we can develop competent lineman.

Thank you David Beatty. During the summer of 2018, offensive line was a real area of concern, and when we got the Mizzou guy, (Rick ?), he went out and recruited some offensive lineman late. This could be a LOT worse

This is spot on. Our skill players on offense are good enough, and the defensive backfield is serviceable. A good O line will make an average RB & QB look good. A D-line that applies consistent pressure is a secondary’s best friend. KU has neither.....yet.
