Kansas vs. UCF: Two Potent Offenses

Both the Jayhawks (36.6 points per game) and Knights (34.8 points per game) have shown an aptitude to score the ball, both ranking in the top half of the Big 12 in offensive yards per contest.

KU has been more effective through the air thanks to the terrific play of quarterback Jalon Daniels. He has thrown for 1,262 yards and 16 touchdowns across five games, already surpassing his touchdown total from a year ago.

Meanwhile, UCF primarily relies on its running game, averaging over 200 yards per game on the ground behind Myles Montgomery and Jaden Nixon.

However, neither team boasts a particularly impressive defense. The Jayhawks were simply outscored by Missouri and Cincinnati, and K-State lit the Knights up a week ago with 34 points and 266 rushing yards.

Kansas almost certainly boasts the better offense in this one, but it may not be enough if it cannot step up defensively. UCF's home environment gives it an edge, and there are more factors in play such as the time change and a long flight down to Florida.

It will ultimately come down to which team can come up with more stops and whether KU's defense makes the necessary adjustments from last week.
