1. RB Daniel Hishaw Jr.

Hishaw totaled a career-high in rushing yards last game, tallying 134 on 19 carries. He also ran for two rushing touchdowns. While Oklahoma State’s run defense is a bit more rigid than UCF’s, Hishaw should be in line for another monster game.

The change-of-pace back will be vital for short-yardage situations and controlling the time of possession. He has a power-running style and complements Devin Neal perfectly. Since the latter receives most of the attention from opposing defenses, Hishaw could break out a few big plays for Kansas football.
