COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Arizona State enters off a strong two-game offensive start, putting up 90 total points and 686 passing yards while also showing a balanced attack with 364 rushing yards. Kansas has been productive too, with 72 points and 510 passing yards through two games, but its defense has allowed 44 points and 615 total yards, including 201.5 passing yards and 106.0 rushing yards per game. The Sun Devils’ defense has been more reliable so far, and that gives them the cleaner recent form even though Kansas has enough passing production to keep the game competitive.
Arizona State has the better combination of scoring output and defensive efficiency, and that should be enough to edge Kansas in a game that still projects to feature points on both sides. Kansas can score through the air, but its defense has not been as trustworthy as Arizona State’s, which is why the Sun Devils are the preferred side. The projected final score is Arizona State Sun Devils 31, Kansas Jayhawks 24, which supports Arizona State covering and the game landing above the lower-scoring range.
