Toledo may be 0-2, but it is still giving up five points to the Kansas Jayhawks in Friday night’s matchup. The Jayhawks are off to a 2-0 start, but they are yet to play any competition. The Rockets nearly opened up the season with a huge road win against the Iowa State Cyclones, but they fell in triple overtime. That game showed us Toledo’s strengths and weaknesses that we can expect this season. There’s no doubt that the Rockets will be able to move the football and put some points on the board as Clint Cochran is running the spread offense well. Kansas boasts a strong defense, especially against the run, but it will most likely struggle against the spread in this one. Check out our free football picks page for a comp winner this weekend.
The Jayhawks return just three defensive starters from last season’s team, but they have showed in their opening two games that they will get better and better as the season progresses. However, their inexperience could cost them in this one, especially in the secondary where they have a major lack of depth. But we must also consider that prior to this season, Cochran’s only experience in college football was some mop up duty in one game last season. Iowa State may be a Big 12 team, but they don’t have a high caliber defense and Cochran’s success against it may not be the best indicator. He will get his first major test of the season in this matchup as will Kansas’ defense.
Kansas’ defense has kept it in nearly every game in the last three seasons when it qualified for two bowl games in three years. However, the offense is much improved this season and will cause trouble for the Rockets. Quarterback Kerry Meier is a future NFL signal-caller. At 6’3’’ and 210 pounds, Meier has the athletic ability to make plays himself for the offense, much like Jay Cutler did last season for Vanderbilt. If the defense shuts one door, Meier has the ability to open another one. The Rockets will also have to deal with tailback Jon Cornish, who may be the best back in the Big 12 North. Iowa State could have had its way on the ground with Stevie Hicks and you can expect Kansas to exploit them on the ground Friday night.
Ultimately, this one comes down to which defense will be able to slow down the other’s offense. It’s apparent that Kansas has the better “D”, but the spread will likely give it some problems. On the other hand, Toledo may not have an answer for Kansas’ potent rushing attack. I have researched this matchup inside and out and I have the winning angle down to a science. I’m so confident in Friday’s matchup that I’m making this my College Football Friday Night Game of the Year. Make sure you’re on board for a big winner this Friday night.
