West Virginia has scored a combined 115 points in its last two games, and Kansas gave up 42 to a marginal Ohio team last week. Even so, I think this total is a little bloated. In order to compete, he Jayhawks will have to take the air out of the ball and milk the clock on run-oriented drives and also force West Virginia to earn its points. The Mountaineers separate late, but the Jayhawks do enough to keep it Under.

West Virginia looks like one of the more well-balanced teams in the Big 12. The Mountaineers are both fast and athletic on both sides of the ball. Defensively, they are underrated and will do a great job of making the Jayhawks become one-dimensional.
