Can Kansas beat and cover the spread vs. UNLV? A former Jayhawks QB breaks it down

The Kansas Jayhawks face the UNLV Rebels on Tuesday, Dec. 26 in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl.

Currently, the Jayhawks are 12.5-point favorites for the game in Phoenix.

In this week’s Rock Chalk Film Room, KU beat writer Shreyas Laddha and former Jayhawks quarterback Carter Stanley discuss what KU must do to win the game and cover the spread.

The pair discusses how KU must establish the run game and use play-action passes. They also talk about how, and why, the Jayhawks should be well-prepared for UNLV’s offensive skill players.
