2. Tre’mon Morris-Brash is a game-changing player
UCF’s defensive line is not something to write home about. They rank in the bottom half of the country in rushing defense. However, Tre’mon Morris-Brash has established himself as one of the most dynamic defensive ends in the country.
The fifth-year senior is well on his way to a career season. He has totaled a Big 12-leading 12 tackles for loss and five sacks, practically surpassing his career-high numbers in just five contests. He has three games with 3+ tackles for loss.
If UCF is going to steal one on the road, Morris-Brash must continue his success against a Kansas football offensive line that has allowed the least sacks in the Big 12 dating back to last season.
