So Kansas takes on Missouri on Saturday. And again, thank you if you already caught our other preview of the game, talking about
Starting point is 00:01:19 matchups of the game, Missouri scouting report, and plenty more. I think when you look at this one for KU, you know, you're a touchdown. underdog essentially, but that doesn't put you out of reach of feeling like you can't win this game. And you've looked really impressive in the season. We're also still at that point of the year where you still are kind of figuring out what these teams are. Like, you do know that Missouri has some talent and you do know that KU has looked good in limited action against lesser opponents. It's going to be very interesting how, you know, we view both teams after this performance and obviously the score and everything will kind of matter into that. But I think when you look at that,
Starting point is 00:01:55 like immediately if we're just talking about how does KU at least cover how do they make this close game i think the first thing i'm looking at you have to at least hold up on the line of scrimmage i'm not saying you got to beat missouri on the line of scrimmage they have a very talented defensive line they have a a couple talented pieces on the offensive line like you know big bodies and stuff it's not necessarily one that is the most cohesive right now so they're kind of still figuring that out so maybe it's better you're playing them early in the season but they still do have talent there. And so again, it's not that you have to win that to keep it close. But the way that you lose this game by more than the spread, the way that you, you know, lose by double digits or something
Starting point is 00:02:35 is that you can't block them. Jalen Daniels is getting hit too much. It's causing sacks or turnovers. And they're able to just road grade you on the ground where they don't really have to do much on offense other than handing the ball off to the running back or letting Bo Proibula run around. That is how they just kind of dominate this game. and just, you know, kind of cover the spread. Like, if you're able to at least hold up there, I feel a lot better about that. The other one is if KU's linebacker injuries don't come back to haunt them. Like, again, this doesn't, you know, Bengali Kamara being injured,
Starting point is 00:03:08 KU doesn't have to have the best linebacking game in the world. Kansas doesn't have to, you know, walk away from this game going, oh, wow, the linebacking unit was the best unit on the field today. But can they just hold up? Can they just not, like you're going to have mistakes. You're going to be playing young guys out there like John John Kamara, guys who haven't played like a ton of snaps against power for opponents, whether it's him or Brantley or Vodraal, whatever. And so if you can just limit those mistakes, if you
Starting point is 00:03:35 can limit the instances where you go, ah, that wasn't great. If it can just be, okay, that was fine. It wasn't the best, but it was fine, where again, it's not taking over the conversation of the game, then I think that's how you hang in there, because I do think from a perspective of you do have more experience at the quarterback position. You know, as much as both peribular has looked really good in his limited samples, it's like he's had one game and gets a powerful opponent with double-digit throws. So we don't know for sure on some of these things. Missouri does have some questions on the offensive line.
Starting point is 00:04:05 They do have some questions in the secondary. We're like, there's enough there that if Kansas can hold up in those two areas, I feel good that it'll at least be a close game in Columbia. Now, the flip side of this is Kansas wins the game, if what. Well, I think for one, can you, you know, if Kansas is the team that road grades them, right? Like, low-key Kansas is giving up less than two yards per carry rushing so far this season. Much different opponent against Missouri than it is against Fresno State or Wagner. But if you're able to keep that up against the Missouri team that wants to run the ball with the quarterback and the running back, then, you know, your defense is going to have a really successful day.
Starting point is 00:04:41 And again, like I said, right now they're only giving up 1.6 yards per carry. Kansas is actually fifth in the country right now, a negative play rate so far on the defensive side at 18%, which is really good. And they're also limiting explosive rushes. They're top 20 in explosive rush rate defense at this point in time. Now, Missouri has a good running attack, but we know the offensive line.
Starting point is 00:05:03 They are not in the top 50 in offensive line run push. So it'll be interesting how that kind of comes together. Now, on the flip side of it, you have the Missouri rushing attack, which or the Missouri rushing defense, which gave up 150. Russian yards and four yards per carry. Those ranked 93rd and 87th nationally, respectively. And that was against an FCS opponent. So what happens if, you know, I have this worry about, oh, no, the Missouri D line's
Starting point is 00:05:26 going to out-talent this game and it's going to cause KU issues there? What happens if it does end up getting flipped? What happens if Kansas, Daniel Hyshaw runs for 90 yards and Jalen Daniels runs for 60 and LaShawn Williams comes in there for 40 yards or whatever? What if Kansas is the team who's able to do that? Then at that point, I think Kansas wins the game, right? I also think that you know winning the turnover battle or maybe a big special team swing like one of those two things go a long way the missouri kicker is out for the season so maybe that presents an opportunity for you to have there we'll see uh what the deal is with fin lapin for k u because i think he's a really good punter but i don't know the injury status there and that could you know be a swing in the game possibly too
Starting point is 00:06:04 if you do or don't have him um you know well one team return a kick will there be if the turnover battle is even special teams becomes the way that is is almost like you know if you do get a big special teams play. It's like you either gained or lost a turnover. So that would be another one that can maybe steal you a game where let's say you are kind of close to even, but they have the home field advantage. A play like that can kind of steal you the game on the road. Maybe it's a muff punt by them. And, you know, I think back to the at West Virginia game in 2022 where Tori Lachlan recovers the muff punt, for instance, that would go a long way. And then kind of the last one I would have here for the key for KU, I think Jalen Daniels, if Kansas wants to win this
Starting point is 00:06:44 game. Jalen Daniels has to go off. And we've seen Jalen perform well in some big games before. We've also seen him, you know, not have the best game in the world in some of the big games. Like if you think the Iowa State game in 2022, that was a struggle. But you also think about the some of the big moments at Texas in 2022. You think about the Liberty Bowl where he was slinging it around the field and leading that comeback against Arkansas and SEC team. You know, there's moments that you could point to everything. Now, when you are talking the signature. win of Jalen Daniel's career at Kansas. I think obviously that Texas one would be the one that you would point to, but that was on a two-win Kansas team. You look at the Oklahoma win that
Starting point is 00:07:26 Kansas got. That was with Jason Bean. And I don't say all this to, you know, say like Jayland Daniels had a good career at Kansas. Like, I'm not taking any of that away. But it feels like there needs to be an exclamation point win to it. And there's going to be other opportunities this season for that right when you play Utah when you play Kansas State but this would certainly be that and as you look to Jayland Daniels career there have been a lot of great moments there have been a lot of wins but this would be the biggest of them all you know and then beyond that it's just like if you want to win one on the road you're your starting quarterback has to play really well you're going to have to do well on third down um you look at the Missouri
Starting point is 00:08:08 defense and they were really good at limiting opponent third downs you know week one, they only give up 15%. They were really good at limiting it last year. Well, Jalen Daniels becomes the guy who can kind of be the X factor in that regard. Additionally, if Missouri's defensive line is causing the KU offensive line problems, Kansas is going to have to roll the pocket. Jalen Daniels is going to have to make plays with his legs, not just running the ball, but setting up the pass with his scrambling ability. So I look at Jailen Daniels and I say, if you have one of your, you know, A-tier games, which we've seen him have, you know, and if he has one of those games, I think Kansas can win the game. And that might be what it takes for Kansas to win
Starting point is 00:08:46 the game, kind of a, as the late Therese-Paler used to say, an over-his-dead body game. Maybe Jalen Daniels, if he has one of those games, Kansas can pull off this upset on the road. All right, let's get to players to watch, though, and then we'll finish up with Fandwell Friday. This is locked on Jayhawks. Today's episode of the show is brought to you by DoorDash. It's almost a weekend. Time to look back and crown this week's MVP on who delivered, powered by DoorDash, just like you can win every Saturday with DoorDash streaks, saving more every time you order.
Starting point is 00:09:18 These players delivered when it mattered most. Let's break it down. For the Kansas Jayhawks, to me, I mean, you could point to a lot of guys, but I'm going to say Trey Lathen delivered in a big way against Wagner. Now, he tied for the team leading tackles, had a couple TFLs, but you have all these linebackers who are getting ejected from the game who are injured, and he's just been kind of the steadying force for KU as a linebacker. And so it feels like when the pressure is on,
Starting point is 00:09:43 Trey Lathen is coming through early in the season, no hesitation, no delay. And if you've been watching week after week, the performance doesn't seem to be a fluke. Put up big stats at West Virginia, now doing so at Kansas. And just like Trey Lathen delivered for the Jayhawks, DoorDash delivers your Saturdays. With DoorDash streaks, you save every Saturday you order. Stack it up all season. And you could save up to $250, including $100 in DoorDash credits. Order this Saturday. Keep the streak alive. fuel your game day, only with DoorDash, terms apply, promo period, through November 18th. Today's episode of the show is also brought to you by Mazda.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Mazda crafts cars for those who choose to do more than simply move. They follow what moves them every time they drive, and that's what makes Mods does stand out. They go beyond safety, style, and performance to deliver a driving experience that feels alive in every detail. As an athlete focuses on every detail, Mazda does the same, from metallic accents to hand-stitched napa leather, You can feel at the moment you get behind the wheel. The smooth handling, intuitive controls, and standard all-wheel drive in every crossover SUV. It's the small details that make the big place. And just like there's more to every player and every play, there's more to a Mazda vehicle.
Starting point is 00:10:56 Mazda move and be moved with Mazda. Thanks to joining us on this episode of Locked on Jayhawks. You can find our show anywhere you get your podcast, including on a YouTube page and you can check out locked on college football for your second listen every day as well okay players to watch for kansas against missouri we'll start with the visiting j hawks in this one offensive side of the ball jaylon daniels has to be the first one we just talked about it like i i try to avoid picking the quarterback in these because it's kind of obvious like of course the most important position in sports maybe um is going to have a big impact on the game but again
Starting point is 00:11:33 i keep going back to the idea that like he's going to have to make plays with his feet he is the leader. He's going on the road looking for a signature win. It's impossible not to pick him. I don't need to reiterate all of that. But yeah, he's one of the guys. The other one is, I guess I would say Enrique Cruz slash Nolan Gorsica. Gorsica played really well against Wagner. We'll see if that mean, but so did Cruz. Cruz played well there. We'll see if Cruz takes up all the snaps. We'll see if they continue to rotate and kind of battle through for that right tackle spot for KU. But this is where who wins that battle and who performs is going to matter a lot. Like it didn't matter maybe as much against Fresno or Wagner. It matters now against Missouri. Missouri has a really strong
Starting point is 00:12:10 defensive line, really talented defensive line. Their left defensive end, so if you're on the left side of the defensive end, you're facing off against the right tackle when you look at how things face off and mirror off. It's Zion Young. Young is a 6-5-260-pound defensive end. He had 42 tackles, six tackles for loss, and two and a half sacks last season. It's a really productive player on the D-line. And there's just, there's so much talent on the Missouri defensive line. line. But given that this is one of those spots that the KU didn't really have locked down until we started the season, I guess, and technically they're both playing. We'll see for this game. It definitely becomes a key spot on the line for KU. Because if you're able to, one of your
Starting point is 00:12:51 spots that was, again, more up in the air, kind of fortify that spot. That speaks well to you being able to do the other spots as well. But especially when you look at the edges and you think of the premier pass rushers coming off the edge, like this is that opportunity. If Enrique K. Cruz, you have a big game against Zion Young, you're going to feel great about that right tackle spot being locked down for the rest of the season. On the defensive side of the ball for KU, John John Kamara is one. You know, Trey Lathen is kind of your constant at one linebacker spot. Well, John Kamara is going to be the guy. I mean, he was the starter last week before he got ejected early on end of the game because of the targeting call. He's back for the full game this
Starting point is 00:13:27 game. But with Bengali Kamara out and with Joseph Sip still out, all of a sudden, John John Kamara plays a huge role on this team and he's a freak athlete he'll be as good of an athlete as either team has on the field but he's a redshirt freshman you know he's probably going to make a couple mistakes and you're going to have to live with them and hope that he's just flying like a bad out of hell so that he can you know make up for some of those mistakes with just being a big hitter and flying around and obviously you know trying to do it without getting another targeting call but he could be kind of an X factor as well because you look at Missouri being a team who wants to run the quarterback. You think of the linebackers having to mirror that? Well, as great of an athlete,
Starting point is 00:14:06 his boat privyal is, he'll probably be just as fast, if not faster than a lot of the linebackers he faces. That ain't the case against John Kamara. So I'm going to be very interested to see how he performs, hopefully stays on the field a little longer there. Mason Ellis is the other one, Kansas kid. He becomes an extension of the linebackers in certain formations, which you want to talk about stopping the run. That becomes important. And if Kansas wants to play a fifth DB, that fifth DB has to be able to come in and stop the run at times. Well, in certain situations, that'll be Saeed Gibbs is more of a nickel corner. In others, it'll be Mason Ellis as kind of that safety, third safety on the field who acts
Starting point is 00:14:39 as a box safety or whatever, sometimes even in the slot. But it becomes not just important against the pass, it does, or against the run, it does become important against the pass. And whether it is Ellis or Gibbs in the specific matchup, Kevin Coleman is the main slot man for Missouri, really productive player, Mississippi State last year. He had over 900 receiving yards, six touchdowns for not a great Bulldogs team. transfers to Missouri. He played 28 of his 33 offensive snaps in week one out of the slot, and he had six catches for 48 yards. They're going to target him. KU has to be ready. Some of that's
Starting point is 00:15:13 going to be on Mason Ellis, as is some of the stopping the run. And you have the added part that he's a Kansas kid, and I just inherently think that the Kansas kids are going to understand this rivalry just a little bit more against Missouri. And on the Missouri side of things, player to watch on offense, Caden Green. He was a preseason All-American at the guard position, but they wound up kicking him out to left tackle. He had a 75 PFF grade last season as a guard. Week one, bit more mixed results as a tackle, 67 and run block, but just a 53 and pass block. You put on an island a little bit more, so that's a tough adjustment to have. Can Dean Miller, can Justice Finclay, can Alex Bray take advantage of this guy who, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:52 again, you're playing him earlier on in the season where he doesn't have as much experience playing there? Can you take advantage of that? Or will Caden Green show why, you know, he's so highly thought of coming into the season. Amad Hardy is the other one to watch. Over 1,300 rushing yards, 13 touchdowns as a freshman at UL Monroe last season, ended up transferring to Missouri, racked up 10 carries, 100 yards, and a score in week 1. So really efficient there. And what was honestly most, I think, impressive about his game, whether it was week 1 or last season, really good. Like, tough to bring down, he's going to keep running after contact. He had over a thousand yards after contact last season. He averaged over four yards per carry after getting contacted.
Starting point is 00:16:34 And in the Missouri opener, he averaged four and a half yards before contact, five and half yards after contact per rush. He is honestly, like legitimately one of the best running backs in the country. So that's going to be tough. And I brought up the step before. I'll bring it up again. Kansas is 18 and 4 in the Lance Leipold era, 2 and 0 this year. When they give up 4.4 yards per carry or less. They are six and 24 in the Lance Leipold era when they give up four and a half yards per carry or more. On the defensive side of the ball for Missouri, we're going to go with Damon Wilson the second. I already touched a little on the talented Missouri defense line. I talked about Zion Young. Well, the other defensive end is Damon Wilson, who you would assume
Starting point is 00:17:16 that battle is going to be against Calvin Clements. And so Wilson is a transfer from Georgia. He was at Georgia for two years. Last year, he had 22 tackles, six tackles for loss, and three sacks with the Bulldogs. And in his first game with Missouri, he looked like Missouri's best defensive line. And he had two sacks. He had a 91 PFF grade and a 91 pass rush grade. He could be one of those guys. I mean, you talk about Calvin Clements, who I think very highly of, but this is definitely
Starting point is 00:17:42 one of those throw into the fire. Your second game is the full-time starter. I guess this would be what his third or fourth overall game is a starter for KU. This is probably the toughest matchup that Calvin Clements has ever faced. since coming in there for KU. So good luck. And if he can hold his own, that would go a long way for KU. And then the other one is Jalen Catalan.
Starting point is 00:18:02 Catalon is a former four-star recruit. You will never guess what class he was in. 2019, 2019 was the year he was the four-star recruit. He's in his seventh year of college football. So I guess you could say he's an experienced player. But he had three tackles, 72 PFF grade, 30 snaps in the opener against Central Arkansas. So good player at safety for them. But I think what else is interesting here is Catalon is actually two and oh against Kansas.
Starting point is 00:18:30 He didn't play. I think he was hurt. But he was on that 2022 Arkansas Liberty Bowl team to beat Kansas. And then the more, I guess, prevalent one since he played was last year he was a member of UNLV. And he had a really good performance. He had three tackles. He had an interception against Kansas. He was targeted four times in coverage.
Starting point is 00:18:48 He gave just one catch for 10 yards. Now, maybe some of that was Jeff Grimes just spamming. deep balls but you're targeted four times you only give up two and a half yards per target and an interception like that's a really good day so with all the trickery and motion the KU runs a lot is on the safeties to kind of read what's in front of them and not get you know sucked up to where you're giving up something deep that is a big explosive play that changes the game so Catalan's going to have a big impact on this one for Missouri our player matchups of the game Connor Tolson the center for Missouri against the KU defensive tackles
Starting point is 00:19:23 Toluson has over 30 career starts. He's a preseason all SEC guy at center, back-to-back seasons over a 74 PFF grade, really solid player on the interior. And then KU has that strong depth, a defensive tackle where it feels like a different guy has kind of stepped up each and every game. That'll be a fun matchup.
Starting point is 00:19:39 On the other side of the field, Emmanuel Henderson against Dalen Carnell. Henderson is coming off his best game as a college player, 130 yards receiving. Missouri slot guy in defense, Dailin Cornell. He'll play some as a box safety, as a free safety, as a nickel guy.
Starting point is 00:19:55 But he has three career touchdowns. He's eight total turnovers forced on defense. 75 and a half PFF grade last year, 82 in coverage. They'll use him everywhere. I'm sure some will be a corner on Henderson, but if that matchup happens, that'll be very interesting for how that kind of comes together. And for KU, if they are getting pressured,
Starting point is 00:20:14 they're probably going to look for, you know, the quick screen game, which Henderson becomes more important in that too. Let's finish up here with a little Fandual Friday.

Again, you can check out. locked on college football for your second listen every day as well all right fan duel friday uh quick thoughts on the spread six and a half for kansas not really a number i'm touching it's always scary that it's not covering the seven and a half i will say this though and i don't know what the opening line was whether we're seven and a half or six and a half and it got bet down one way or another regardless we'll see what it closes that but you know sometimes if they give you six and a half
Starting point is 00:22:41 can actually be like a good thing because it's vegas saying you know not giving you that key number that they're saying we actually like the kansas side on this so i don't know we'll see where that closes the over under is 50 and a half honestly my inclination and talked about this on our crossover episode this week is actually to take the under there you know I can see both defensive lines having strong games if there's some questions at at least one or two of the offensive line spots for both teams maybe that means we end up with an under you know rivalry game players running around hitting hard maybe it's like 2417 21 or 20 to 17 something like that that could go under my favorite k u prop bet of the game I really like jaylin daniels
Starting point is 00:23:19 anytime touchdown at plus 175 of Fandul. If you just think he's going to be having to run more, KU's going to open up his legs a little bit more, you think about using those legs in the red zone where it can be really helpful. Plus 175, I like that for sure. Also is over under for passing yards is 195 and a half. You know, if this is a game where Kansas gets down
Starting point is 00:23:38 or has to keep up with Missouri, all of a sudden, you know, you're in a game where he's going to have to be throwing through the fourth quarter, especially even if Kansas is up, it's going to be probably a close game that you're going to have to keep throwing. throwing. So I like that against a Missouri secondary that has some talent, but I think does leave something to be desired on occasion. And then the other one here is Bo Pribula, his over
Starting point is 00:24:00 39 and a half rushing yards. That feels like one where KU struggled against rushing quarterbacks at the very least. You know, you look at what he did in week one and he had like a 9% scramble rate, which is really high. He's somebody who will, if the first read isn't there sometimes, he'll just take off and go. I also think it's going to be a big part of Missouri's game plan. They want to run him the football. So I would definitely be taking the over on that one. Favorite KU prop parley. You can do kind of limited on this. Jalen Daniel's 175 passing yards plus proibula 30 plus rushing yards. You can get Daniel Hyshaas over under 59 and half. Again, the bottom 50 in the country in yards rushing and yards per carry allowed after the first week and it was
Starting point is 00:24:40 against central Arkansas. Maybe put it together, take a risk on it. It's around plus 300 and roll the ice and say this will be a good KU rushing game. Um, my favorite other bet in college football this week, a little teaser parlay. Mississippi State plus 17 and a half playing at home against Arizona State, long way to travel for them. There's already some complaining. It's going to be a hostile environment for Mississippi State who, uh, I do think has a little bit there. I think Arizona State, I don't know, man. I see you playing an FCS team and you're targeting your first round receiver 17 times in a game.
Starting point is 00:25:10 It's like you couldn't do anything else against the FCS team. I think Mississippi State keeps it close. Ohio plus 21 and. half again these are teasers so you're adding alternate spreads but putting them together to get you know more decent odds ohio's plus three and a half for the game i'm teasing them up to 21 and a half but west virginia plays pit next week could be a look ahead opportunity for them and that one maybe they even get college game day so there certainly could be looking ahead there in ohio house pretty good parkon navarro looked really good in the first game the season and then the other teaser i'm pushing
Starting point is 00:25:40 iowa up to eight and a half feels like all those iowa iowa state games are always close um i was one a majority of them, but Iowa State's had some recent success recently. But yeah, I'm going to push it up to eight and a half. And the combo of those three on the teasers is minus 106 for putting that together. All right, that'll go for this episode of Lockdown Jayhawks.
