Running back Chuba Hubbard has struggled to get going in the first two games of the season, but senior running back LD Brown has stepped up and made the most of his increased role as he put up 103 yards and a touchdown last week.
As for this Cowboy defense, they're playing just about as good as anyone in the country as they've allowed just 20 points through the first two games and will be looking to continue against Kansas.
