Kansas Football Prediction No. 3: Nevada turns the ball over 3+ times

Surprisingly enough for a team that has been outscored 99-20 through its first two games, Nevada has a turnover differential of -2. They’ve thrown two interceptions and coughed up two fumbles. However, I think that number will rise against Kansas.

The Jayhawks have picked off four passes so far in what has been a defensive resurgence for Brian Borland’s unit. They are making game-changing plays and big stops on the defensive end. Although the team will be without Austin Booker and Cobee Bryant for the first half of the bout, they will still thoroughly outperform Nevada’s offense.
