UNLV, although holding a 9-4 record, hasn’t fared well against more formidable teams. They have struggled, particularly when stepping up in competition. However, they boast a standout player in Ricky White, a transfer from Michigan State. White, with an impressive near-1400 receiving yards this season, is a key figure for the Rebels.
On the Kansas side, running back Devin Neal is a player to watch. His productivity and style, reminiscent of a Nyheim Hines role, make him an intriguing prospect for the future. Kansas’s quarterback situation has been interesting, with Jalon Daniels often listed as questionable and Jason Bean stepping in effectively as a backup.
Overall, this Guaranteed Rate Bowl matchup is shaping up to be a thrilling game. With Kansas’s potent offense and UNLV’s potential for big plays, we can expect an engaging contest. Kansas’s slight edge on offense, coupled with UNLV’s challenges against stronger teams, suggests that Kansas might just cover that -1o.5 spread in what promises to be a high-scoring and enjoyable bowl game.
