Kansas Football Game 1 vs. Missouri State Bears 

This game went about as you would expect, as Kansas football completely dominated the FCS-level Bears after getting off to a sluggish start.

Jason Bean started this game in place of the injured Jalon Daniels and went 22-28 for 276 yards and two touchdowns. Bean was awesome and so was Devin Neal, who ran for 94 yards on 13 carries.

I had predicted a Kansas 52-14 win over Missouri State in the preseason. Kansas football ended up winning 48-17 over the Bears.

My Prediction: 52-14, Kansas wins
Actual Score: 48-17, Kansas wins
