In just over an hour, the Kansas Jayhawks will be looking to secure bowl eligibility for the third time under head coach Lance Leipold. If Kansas can take down the No. 13 Utah Utes, in what would be one of the biggest upsets in Lance Leipold’s career, then Leipold would officially have three bowl bids in a matter of five years. Something that sounded impossible before the former Buffalo coach walked through the door ahead of the 2021 season.
When looking at the Utes, the greatest strength lies in their elite rushing attack. By elite, we mean second-best in the nation elite, as Kyle Whittingham’s team tallies an astounding 280.
