Starting point is 00:00:38 And on today's edition, we're talking about the keys for Kansas to come away with the victory against Kansas State. We'll also get into our players to watch for both teams, including our player matchup for the offense versus the defense and vice versa, depending on who you're talking about. Also get to a little fan duel Friday, break down the spread and a little player props as well. Today's episode of Locked on Jayhawks is brought to you by game time. and today's episode of the show is also brought to you by Mazda. Like our players, we sweat every detail because when you make every move count, pulling off the unexpected is only the beginning. Stay tuned later for highlights in this week's moving the game forward.

Starting point is 00:01:13 Mazda move and be moved. Kansas takes on Kansas State. How does Kansas come away at this victory? Now, as we're recording, the line, the spread has moved a little bit here from two and a half to three and a half. But I think it's kind of all in one question. And usually I approach this question is, what does Kansas need to do to win? What does Kansas need to do to cover? And that can be kind of a different story.

Starting point is 00:01:35 I think kind of the question of like, what does Kansas need to do a win and cover are going to kind of be the same things? Just maybe it's a little more maximized here because it is a small, you know, spread. And I think at the end of the day, like you just want Kansas to win this game. You don't really care. If Kansas wins by one point, they win by one point, you're going to be happy. You know what I mean? So I'm not even going to approach the covering side of this. Kansas wins this game, if what?

Starting point is 00:01:57 I think the first thing that I would mention here is they make less stupid plays. Like, I know that sounds like an obvious thing and a dumb thing kind of going into football games, but how many games have we walked away from at the end of a Kansas Kansas State game and just said, Kansas made more dumb plays, Kansas made more stupid plays, Kansas made more self-inflicted mistakes, whether it's a dropped punt, whether it's bad special teams coverage, whether it's, you know, I forgot about this one too. Like I've been mentioning obviously the game a couple years ago where you think of the muff punt, You think of the drop to pick six, potentially.

Starting point is 00:02:29 The play that I think goes a little bit under the radar is the earlier in the game, Kansas scores a touchdown and the PAT gets blocked and returned for two points to Kansas State. And you could say, okay, well, the final score is 31, 27. If you take away two points for them and give Kansas one more point, they're still winning 29, 28. But they went for two later in the game because of where that two point version, conversion allowed them to be, if that wouldn't have been the case, they probably kick a PAT in that situation and had that blocked PAT return for two not happened, it's a tie ball game and maybe it goes to overtime. Like, who knows what happens? It's just kind of a different situation. So, like, it's just moments like that. It's plays like that. The Kansas has

Starting point is 00:03:11 continually self-inflicted upon themselves. And sure, it's not to say that Kansas State has been completely mistake proof, like they made a couple of mistakes in last year's game. But Kansas has made the ones that are even seemingly, or even seemingly bigger brain farts, so to speak. And And so can you avoid those as much as possible and have as many as K-State or less than K-State finally in one of these games? I would also say Kansas wins this game if Avery-Johnson doesn't have a takeover game running the football. If Avery Johnson, you know, has 100 yards rushing, has 70 yards rushing, I think it's going to be tough for KU on the defensive end of the football. I do think that, you know, Kansas State's probably going to hit their big plays. They're going to hit some explosive plays through the game.

Starting point is 00:03:53 but if you're limiting the Avery Johnson scrambles, that's going to really, you know, keep them down on some of those third downs. And I think also like the, I don't know, it's just like with Kansas, you saw against Missouri, they did a good job against the QB run with Bo Privula. You saw them not do a good job in the second half against Texas Tech with Will Hammond against the QB run. So like, what exactly are we going to see? I don't entirely know, but if you can limit his legs, you know, I don't think Avery Johnson is, is, is, and again, like maybe it changes in this game. But again, like, do you look at the stats? Avery Johnson's in the 80s in yards per attempt this year.

Starting point is 00:04:31 He's in like in the, you know, 80s and completion percentage this year. If you can make him a passer specifically, I think you're going to be fine with the result of that. Now, again, I say that. Watch, he's going to throw for like 400 yards or something. But like, I guess that's how I would be approaching it if I were scouting this game ahead of time. Can you take away him running the football? I think Kansas wins if in general, like they lends. limit the explosive plays from Kansas State and they get explosive plays themselves.

Starting point is 00:04:58 That's something where because Kansas State gives up a lot of explosive plays defensively, and because offensively, Kansas State has lived on a lot of explosive run plays, if Kansas can take those away. You know, Kansas has actually done a pretty good job on the non-explosive run plays limiting the yards. You know, it's just unfortunate because it's just like, it's one of those situations where, like, the Kansas defense is basically like, yeah, I'm a really safe driver, except for when I get in a car crash.

Starting point is 00:05:25 And unfortunately, Kansas is getting in like multiple car crashes per game. And it's like, oh, boom, untouched 70-yard touchdown for the other team. But the moments that they're not having the car crash, they're obeying the rules of the law. They're stopping all the stoplights. They're, I don't know, they're signaling their lefts and everything. It's just a very, they've been pretty good against the run, except for the times they're giving up the huge plays. Unfortunately, they're giving up those huge plays too often. So it's like, what are you getting in this Kansas State game?

Starting point is 00:05:51 If you can limit that, you should have enough as a run defense. But if you don't, that's how Kansas State puts up, you know, 30, 40 points in this game. I definitely do think Kansas is going to have to score 30 plus to win this game. They scored 27 exactly on the dot, 27 points each of the last three matchups with Kansas State. You lose 27, 47 and 47 and 32. You lose 27 to 31 in the last time you played them at home. And then you lose 27 to 29 last year in Manhattan. Obviously, in the case of scoring 30 points that would have won you the game last year,

Starting point is 00:06:21 It wouldn't have won the other two. But it's just like in general, I think the minimum, you have to get to 30 points. You have to say we cleared what we did these last couple of years when you certainly got to that point. I would say if the defense can make some red zone stops, you know, Kansas State is third in the Big 12 right now in points allowed per red zone possession. So basically when the opposition is getting in the red zone on the Kansas State defense, the K-State defense has done a good job walling off. KU meanwhile is 14th in the big. 12 in points allowed per red zone possession. So Kansas has not done a great job of, you know, bending, not breaking, so to speak.

Starting point is 00:06:58 They are kind of breaking when teams are getting into the red zone. If that's something that can change a little bit in this game, that's another avenue for what could be a close game, kind of flipping the script in the same way that Kansas won a close game over UCF with a big goal line stand involved in there. And then I would say the last one here is they close. Apparently, there is something Lance Leipold mentioned in the week leading up that, like, Kansas rewatched this game in the office in the last couple of minutes of this game. And so I would think, you know, obviously from a rivalry perspective, that's part of it.

Starting point is 00:07:31 But like, this one's going to be, they're going to play energized. They're going to play spirited and stuff. And that is a positive. But so with Kansas State. Now, I look at it and I say this is expected to be a close game. Last two years have been very close games. You didn't finish last year. You didn't finish the year before.

Starting point is 00:07:48 Now, the year before is a little different. And it wasn't necessarily like you have the ball with, I don't know, like you just couldn't get off the field at the end. They had the ball up before. Last year felt a little different because you had the ball with the lead, couldn't do anything with it. You fumble. They go down. They kick the game when you field go. You have another chance kind of late.

Starting point is 00:08:05 Like, could you get in field go range and you just couldn't? And so can you finish this go around? Did the UCF game where you found a way to finish? Did that start to, I don't know, turn the tide on Kansas in one score games and, you know, Kansas struggling in those close games? because it's probably, if you're going to win this game, it's probably going to be a close game. It's probably going to have to turn in a game like this. And I think of Jalen Daniels,

Starting point is 00:08:27 can you deliver and make those key plays? He made key plays for Kansas to beat Cincinnati. The defense couldn't hold up. So it's not always just on the quarterback, but when you look at Jalen, this would be his defining win. And I think this is the most important game of the Lance Lippoldera.

Starting point is 00:08:44 That's a lot of pressure. Regardless, you've lost 16 straight, you would think that the pressure should be on the other team. It's not. is a lot of pressure on KU. I'm sure there's pressure on K-State, too, but it's not like a one-sided thing. So can you close even knowing all that pressure and even knowing the history here of what Kansas State has been able to do in the series? All right. Let's get to our players to watch. This is Locked on Jayhawks. Today's episode of LOJ is brought to you by Mazda. And with Mazda, they are moving the game forward.

Starting point is 00:09:20 For those who believe it's not just about playing the game, it's about redefining it. There's moments that do more than put points on the board. They move crowds, move culture, and keep moving the game forward. This week's moment that move the game forward, I think, obviously coming off a bye week, so we're going to talk a little bit about the week before. But I really thought that late March on, you know, 50 plus yard field goal that he hit against Texas Tech, moved things forward for me right now. And coming into this game against Kansas State, where it could come down to a lake kick.

Starting point is 00:09:47 It could come down to some key points here or there. having a kicker you can trust to maybe do what Kansas State did to you with their kicker, that's certainly a confidence booster and I think moves the game forward for KU. When you follow what moves you, the unexpected is only the beginning. And just like there's more to every highlight, there's more to a Mazda vehicle. Mazda move and be moved. Thanks for joining us on this episode of Lockdown Jayhawks. You can check out Lockdown College Football for your second, listen every day,

Starting point is 00:10:16 and you can give us a follow at L.O. underscore Jayhawks. on Twitter at D. Johnson Radio as well. Our players to watch for KU and K State. Let's start with the Jayhawks. I think the first player that I want to mention here is Jalen Daniels. And I mentioned it. I had a shout out to Aaron Mayer who reached out to me, who's kind of mentioning a lot of the players who have been in the ring of honor

Starting point is 00:10:41 have had like winning records and had a lot of success against K State. Now obviously that hasn't been the case for Jaylin, a little bit different time, but like this would be the signature win opportunity for Jalen Daniels. And when you look at what Jalen has the opportunity to do of kind of cementing a legacy, he's playing unbelievable football this year. Like you look at the stats, whether it's EPA per play or yards per attempt or touchdown interception ratio, completion percentage, like no matter what stat you're looking at, he's coming, you know, in the top 10, in the top 20 of the country. Like he legitimately has been one of the 10 best quarterbacks in my opinion in college football this

Starting point is 00:11:15 year. And I think that's an opinion that's held by some other people, too. He's been awesome. But again, can you do it in this big moment? Now, last year, I thought Jalen did enough for you to win the game. I think it was unfortunate. He had the fumble. But that's kind of the thing. Like, there's almost like a, I almost call it like, if you ever notice, me and me and a friend have a running joke with Travis Kelsey. Travis Kelsey is obviously unbelievable player. You can make the argument for the best tight end in NFL history and, you know, whatever you want to say one of the greatest players of his position in NFL history if you ever notice there's always like one play per game that Kelsey makes a mistake is like he'll drop a pass

Starting point is 00:11:56 he will maybe miss a block there's always just like one mistake but overall the other plays he way outweighs that and he's still so amazing even despite the one it's just usually there's one knucklehead play a game i think jalen Daniels has Travis Kelsey disease he there'll be one knucklehead play a game Unfortunately, last year, K State, it was that fumble. And I know you could say, okay, technically there's more. But it's like one, you know, big one that kind of comes back to. But overall, he's been money so far this season. And against K State defense that will give up some big plays, but also, you know, forced TCU and some big turnovers last week,

Starting point is 00:12:29 it's going to be really important that he has an efficient game and, you know, has a big game for KU if they want to win this one. Calvin Clements, another player to watch for me. Obviously, Calvin Clements is coming off his worst game against Texas Tech in a year that he's struggle a little bit. Clements has just a 39 PFF grade this year. That's lowest on the KU offense, just a 12.2 pass block grade. That sounds like a not real number. He's actually given up more pressures than any offensive tackle in the Big 12. But the 15 pressures that he allowed between the Tech and the Missouri games compared to just eight pressures allowed in the other five. So it hasn't been as bad in the other five. I don't think that K-State

Starting point is 00:13:07 has the NFL dudes on the defensive line that those teams had. You've also got to Kansas kid, though, here. You've also got a kid that we found I was dealing with some sort of injury. He was listed on the probable list. We heard Lance Leapold earlier this week, getting the by week to get a little healthier. Maybe that was a little more to the Texas tech game than we might have thought. And you're having a Kansas kid, somebody who wants to bounce back, I'm going to be interested to see if he can. There's still talent there with Calvin Clements. And I've continued to make kind of the Bryce Cable-Doo comparison that, you know, Cable-Doo, it wasn't always sunshine and rainbows. His first couple of years is playing for KU.

Starting point is 00:13:42 By the time he was in his last couple years at Kansas, he was nails, he was money. And I could see that being the case for Clements, who has everything you want from the size and the body. Like, you still see flashes of the play. It just hasn't been as consistent. There have been those struggles in the past blocking game. Maybe this is a good first step for him coming off that by in-state opponent with Kansas State. But they certainly need them to because K State obviously watched the Texas Tech film like they're going to attack him. So he's got to be ready.

Starting point is 00:14:07 And then the last one I want to mention here for KU is Mason Ellis. So Ellis was this is questionable in the previous. game for KU and he ended up not playing. Now he's listed as probable, which makes sense. You're coming off a bye week. You have a little extra time to get ready for this one. He's another Kansas kid. And I was cognizant of wanting to go with some Kansas kids on this because you just think

Starting point is 00:14:25 about it and they have a better understanding of what this rivalry, I guess, is about. But I think safety is going to be a really important position for KU to slow some of their explosive runs, right? Because if you're making the tackle is the safety, you're probably the last line of defense, preventing it from being an explosive run. but also guarding tight ends. K State likes to throw. They've got a really good tight end.

Starting point is 00:14:45 Now, Mason Ellis hasn't played since the West Virginia game when he got hurt. He played a single digit snaps in that game, got hurt. And I think it's been a little like undersold how important that's been not having him. We've seen some KU struggles defensively since then. And Ellis has legitimately like been one of KU's better defenders when he has been out there and healthy. He's got a 71.7 pff grade, 72.7. in coverage, 87.3 in tackling. This has not been a very good tackling KU defense.

Starting point is 00:15:16 Mason Ellis has done a pretty good job of that this year. I think KU's been missing him more than he might think. I think getting him back in this game is going to be a really big thing for KU, assuming that he is back with the probable listing there. What about K State? Who are the players to watch for the Wildcats? Let's start with Avery Johnson. We've got the quarterback on both teams.

Starting point is 00:15:35 He's obviously a dual threat quarterback. Like we said earlier, can Kansas slow down the quarterback running game? But last year against Kansas, Avery Johnson was really good. He was 19 of 34. It's not the best completion percentage, but the overall result was really good. 253 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions. He also had 14 carries for 67 yards and a touchdown. One thing that I do find interesting here is even though Avery Johnson has just two

Starting point is 00:15:59 interceptions, that's the same amount as Jalen Daniels, his turnover worthy throw rate on pro football focus is 5.2%. Jaylon's only at 2.2%. So is that something where maybe the. there's a reversion. Can Kansas get an interception or two on Avery Johnson in this game? But, you know, can they slow him down? I mean, he, with Dylan Edwards out of this game, that's one less explosive runner they have. Avery Johnson, is he going to have a takeover game or can Kansas find a way to, you know, force him into some turnovers or make him a little

Starting point is 00:16:29 ineffective? Gareth Oakley is one of his favorite targets. He's a tight end, 25 catches, 271 yards, four touchdowns, but he's really been on a tear of late. And those are good numbers to begin with for a tight end. But over the last two games that K State has played, he's got 11 catches for 125 yards and three scores. He has been a focal point of the offense as K State has started to kind of revitalize on the season. Garrett Oakley has been a really good player for Kansas State here at tight end.

Starting point is 00:16:57 And maybe that goes to Mason Ellis, me, I don't know, it'll be interesting. Like KU does have athletic linebackers with Bengali Kamar and Trey Lathen who guards him. It'll be interesting because he's going to be a common target for Avery Johnson, especially on some of those key downs and in the red zone. And then the last guy here for the K-State defense is Austin Romaine. He's a linebacker, 49 tackles on the season, two past deflections. Had a really great year last year. He's backing it up with another one this year.

Starting point is 00:17:22 80.5 PFF grade. He's an 88.6 in run defense, 69.6 in coverage, so at least solid there. Now, is tackling grade only a 59.6? That'll certainly be something that's interesting, you know, is that something Kansas can take advantage of in some way. think that sometimes PFF dings some of the linebackers a little bit on the tackles when it's like, okay, he missed the tackle, but he got in there and shot a gap. And because he even hit him and allowed that other defenders to finish the TFL off, but

Starting point is 00:17:50 so he's a very good linebacker, Kansas and Jalen are going to have to be very wary of him on the field. Now, what about our player matchups of the game? Well, when KU's on offense and Kansas State's on defense, we're going to go with Cam Pickett slash Emmanuel Henderson versus Quay Moss in the slot specifically. With Henderson, sometimes he's on the flank, sometimes he's in the slot with Pickett. I mean, KU moves their players around all the time. But we've seen both guys be in the slot at different points this season.

Starting point is 00:18:18 Now, with Moss, he's a safety. He has 169 of his snaps as a slot corner and 97 of his snaps as a box safety. So he's playing on the inside. And sometimes he'll be matched up, I'd imagine, with Bowden Grown or maybe a different slot receiver with Kansas. But Moss has been good this year, 72 PFF grade, 74 in coverage. He's been targeted 29 times. He's given up just 15 catches with zero touchdowns at two interceptions. So Moss has been really good.

Starting point is 00:18:44 And that's strength on strength because, you know, Pickin Henderson have obviously been KU's two leading receivers so far this season. Plus in a game where, you know, explosive plays are going to be key. Those are KU's probably two best bets for explosive plays on offense. Other player matchup on the KU defensive side of the ball, the KU defensive tackles against Sam Hecht. Hecht is KU's or K-States center. He is their highest graded offensive linemen on pro football focus at a 78.6, but their two guards are actually their lowest rated offensive linemen on pro football focus.

Starting point is 00:19:17 Now, HEC's been really good. He's given up just four pressure, zero sacks, 99.2 percent win rate. You want to be like 98 percent or above, at least at the tackle position, probably a little higher at the center position, but still that's good. KU's defense tackles didn't have a very good game against Texas Tech. But overall, like they've had some solid moments and, games this season and been a pretty solid unit in a lot of the games and they've had some high individual success here and there can you take advantage of those guards for Kansas State and then if you do take advantage of the guards can you win some of the matchups with the

Starting point is 00:19:50 center because you're going to be getting double teamed by heck so that's going to be I think a very interesting matchup kind of both ways for the two teams and I would say too like if we're talking about like another matchup that could be kind of interesting like the Janeland Daniels, Austin, Romain one because Jalen's been money on play action, five touchdowns, no interceptions, over 10 yards per attempt. K-State has given up a lot on the, I'm sorry, that's the numbers against K-State defense. Jayland's at 12.6 yards per attempt, 13 touchdowns, no interceptions on play action. But what's also interesting is Jalen is third in the country an adjusted completion

Starting point is 00:20:29 percentage in the intermediate range of throws. So he's been very good from 10 to 20 yards. but K State this year allowing just 21 of 47 for 368, no touchdowns, one pick in the intermediate range. So keep an eye on that matchup, too, with Jalen versus Austin, Remain, but we talked about both those guys a little earlier. So I guess we're doubling down on it now anyway.

As we will be back on Friday night for a little postcast episode with whatever happens in the KU Louisville basketball game. We'll have a postcast for the KUK State game later this weekend. I'm not sure when it's going to come out this weekend.

Starting point is 00:22:58 I guess, you know, peel the, the curtain back. It is my wedding anniversary with my wife. Now, the last time we went to a football game, the day after our wedding, we got married on a Friday, it was when KU came back and beat Tech on the crazy field goal. So maybe, hopefully, some good, you know, juju there, maybe a little bit. All right, Fan dual Friday on today's episode here. So the spread here that we're looking at now is Kansas minus three and a half. It was two and a half yesterday.

Starting point is 00:23:27 It's now three and a half today. It tells you that money's actually coming in on Kansas late, which is that a good thing? I don't know. 56.5 is the over and a half is the over and a half. I would not be taking Kansas minus three and a half. That's too many points. I said on the other day show, I would rather take like Kansas State Money Line if you were taking that side than plus two and a half. But at three and a half, I think I'd rather take the spread for them.

Starting point is 00:23:55 But, you know, I predicted the other day. I got crazy with it and predicted a Kansas win. So, you know, hopefully I don't have egg on my face and I'm not sad over the weekend. But the overrunner is 56 and a half. I do like the over there. Like I said, I think Kansas needs to score 30 plus. I think both defenses can be poked at a little bit here and there. I can see both teams scoring in the 30s.

Starting point is 00:24:19 So I kind of like the over in that regard there. Now, looking at some of the player props of this game, the overunder passing yards right now for Jalen on Fandul is 2.30. 31 and a half. Aver Johnson is 210 and a half. It's hard because it's like with the weather what it's supposed to be, which is raining and kind of cold, how does that affect the passing game for both guys? Do both quarterbacks end up running it a little bit more? Right. So I don't know that I want to touch either of those just in terms of, you know, factoring in for the weather as well. And maybe that is something where you wouldn't want to touch the over because of that. I don't know. But the

Starting point is 00:24:53 receiving yard props can pick it at 38 and a half, Emmanuel Henderson 53 and half, Bowden, Grun, 47 and a half, Garrett Oakley, 40 and a half, Jace Brown, 68 and a half, drawn tips, 52 and a half. The one that interests me there the most is Camp Pickett at 38.5. I can definitely see with it being more rain-related, maybe you do throw a little bit more, you know, receiver screen, short passes, let Cam Pickett make some yards after the catch. So that would be my favorite of the receiving ones. For the rushing ones, the only ones that are up there right now in Fandole, Jalen Daniels 33 and a half, Daniels, Daniels, Daniel Hyshaw, 64 and a half.

Starting point is 00:25:22 I would be taking the Jalen Daniels. That would probably be my favorite player prop so far. Jalen, over 33 and a half. game. This is an opportunity for Jayland to get his biggest win in a Kansas uniform. It could be raining. You're coming off a game where you just got sacked nine times. Probably want to move the pocket a little bit more. That would be my lock bet. And honestly, like, you can go to the alt-rushing tab. And I don't hate this either if you want to like ladder it. You do the over on the 33 and a half. Then you do a 40 plus at plus 118 and then maybe you throw a crazy one on like, I don't

Starting point is 00:25:55 know, to rush for 60 plus yards at plus 280 or something like that. You can also get Jalen to that same vein plus 115 to score a touchdown. High shot minus 125 isn't bad, though, because if Lechon Williams ends up not playing, he's obviously questionable, that's even more, you know, opportunity for High Shaw to be the goal line back necessarily. Bowdo and Grooons plus 135, gosh, do I dare say the Kansas State defense at plus 700 because that would be classic this series? but yeah. I also think if you want to look at it like the first quarter bet, Kansas minus

Starting point is 00:26:29 one and a half thinking they're going to come out fired up after how the last couple years of went. And with this game being at home, maybe that's something that they could take advantage of as well. I don't know for this episode of Locked on Jayhawks.
