Kansas game prediction
This game should be over by halftime.
Not only are the Jayhawks better at every facet of football, but Lindenwood has struggled against FCS squads since it transitioned from Division II two years ago.
One of the big things to watch is how good Kansas quarterback Jalon Daniels looks, as he played only three games last season due to injury.
On the defensive end, it’ll be notable which KU players are getting to the quarterback. That’s the biggest question mark surrounding Kansas’ defense.
If all goes to plan, fans will see quarterbacks Cole Ballard and Isaiah Marshall in action; expect Kansas to win big in this one.
