1. Utilizing offensive weapons on the ground

In 2022, Kansas averaged 184.2 yards per game on the ground, while Missouri State allowed 156.1. The Bears’ defense will have trouble stopping the two-headed dragon of Devin Neal and Daniel Hishaw Jr., as well as the dual-threat ability that both of KU’s quarterback options offer.

OC Andy Kotelnicki has implemented an RPO-style triple-option offense in Lawrence, and Missouri State is the perfect team to experiment on. He will still need to draw up a handful of passing plays, but pounding the rock will lead the Jayhawks to the promised land tonight.
