Kansas stays at home in week 2 to battle CMU of the MAC conference. The Chippewas last visited Lawrence in 2014 and lost 24-10 as Tony Pierson took the first play from scrimmage 70 plus yards to the house, not a ton players from ether team are still around from that game. CMU outlasted Rhode Island last Thursday in a triple overtime thrilller (30-27).RIU threw 6 ints and missed a chip shot fg for the win in the second ot after a CMU fumble. Offensively they are supposed to be sound as they return all starters across the line and 1,000 receiver Corey Willis. 4 year starter at QB Cooper Rush has graduated leaving Michigan transfer Shane Morris to run the show. I was able to watch most of their first game and wasn't impressed, Morris has a strong arm but barely completed 50% of his passes. They also have a running backing that's solid in Spaulding and a 6'7 QB in Poljan that can run effectively. It wil be interesting to see if we can get the run game going against a young defensive line and linebacker group, their strengths are in the safeties on D. I think the key for us to win is having a fast start and winning the turnover battle. Both teams left a lot on field in week one and CMU played Thursday so they have a jump on Kansas in prep. I think which ever team can make the biggest jump from week 1 to 2 wins the game. I'm going with Kansas 31-20, my player of the game is Dom Williams I think he gets a 80 yard game and 2 tds. I'm excited to say I'll be there in person Saturday!
