Kansas going 1-4 to start the season was not a big deal.
The offence has not turned it up yet because they have not beaten an FBS team. This was meant to be one of the most fun and exciting teams in the country. It is still possible to turn things around, but first they need to win in Tempe.
The game Arizona State lost at Texas Tech was very close. They play Utah next, and then they have to play five of their last six games on the road, so they can not afford to lose at home.

Why Kansas Will Win
The Jayhawks are not really getting smashed. They seem…off.
That they do not have any real home games might be the problem, but they are not that far from fixing things either. The team might only need to flip a switch to become the team everyone was expecting.
The mistakes are the first step. They only gave up one in the loss to TCU, but the mistakes they made in the first four games will not help them get through this. They should not throw picks, but they also should not be too careful.
In short, it is time to let loose.
But in this case, they need to stop Arizona State from getting tough up front. Because… do not get it grind it out.
Why Arizona State Will Win
It is going to be HOT.
When the game starts, it should be about 100 degrees, and that is when the Sun Devils should be able to show what they can do.
Most of the time, they have the ball second best in the Big 12. Kansas can keep the clock going, but not as well as ASU can.
Let running back Cam Skattebo go, and let him gain four yards per carry against a good Kansas defence. Then let the offensive line take over. The game will be very hard, and the team that works harder will win.
Kansas vs Arizona State: Who Will Win
It is going to be a really tough fight.
The second half will be very tough for both teams, so Kansas needs to use all of their tools to keep the offence on the field. It will march well for a while, but…
ASU does not lose the ball. Kansas is going to give it up twice.
