Game Preview
In the Guaranteed Rate Bowl on December 26 at Chase Field, UNLV will play Kansas.
Throughout the entire season, the Jayhawks only had one terrible game. The Texas Longhorns defeated them 40–14 in that game. However, Kansas was involved in the other three defeats, which came against three bowl teams, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, and Texas Tech, all by a touchdown or less. The offensive line, especially the running game, was crucial to Kansas’ success. The Jayhawks overcame the loss of quarterback Jalon Daniels by running for 5.5 yards per carry. With four interceptions and 12 touchdown passes, Jason Bean took over and completed the task. On the ground, he gained 259 yards and 3 touchdowns. Although it wasn’t excellent, Kansas’ defense mostly competed in the Big 12 Conference. Despite their opponents’ average of 28.2 points per game, the Jayhawks gave up 25.8 points per contest. Kansas gave up 7.3 yards per pass attempt and 4.6 yards per carry. The Jayhawks’ defensive stats throughout the season were just somewhat higher than those of their rivals.
UNLV isn’t exactly flying high when they enter this match. San Jose State scored 37 points and Boise State scored 44 points, respectively, on defense, which has been the main offender. However, UNLV’s defense has been the team’s weak spot, giving up 27 points a night to opponents who averaged 25.7 points. With opponents averaging 4.4 yards per rush, UNLV has a respectable run defense. However, there’s a lot that can be improved with the passing defense. Against opponents that average 7.4 yards per pass, the UNLV Rebels surrender 8.4 yards per attempt. UNLV is doing rather well offensively, scoring 35.3 points on average versus NCAAF opponents that give up 28.1 points on average. Throughout the season, Maiava passed for 14 touchdown passes, and 2,794 yards. On the ground, he gained 261 yards and 3 touchdowns.
