Missouri State Bears at Kansas Jayhawks

Friday, 7:00 p.m. CT, ESPN+

Kansas’ Swiss cheese defense might have some people keen on thinking this game could wind up close, but first-year head coach Ryan Beard has his work cut out for him in his debut at the helm. Missouri State has battled with Arkansas and Oklahoma State in the past two years, but a declining offense and uncertainty at quarterback should make this a fairly easy one for the Jayhawks.

Final Score Prediction: 38-13, Kansas
