Kansas Football: Way-too-early game-by-game predictions for 2020
Sept. 19. Lawrence (Kan.). 3. 826. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Boston College Eagles. player
Last season, Les Miles announced his return to college football by leading his Jayhawks to a massive upset victory over Boston College in Chestnut Hill. The two teams will complete their series in 2020 when the Eagles travel West to Lawerence for a Week 3 matchup.
The Eagles will be under new leadership in 2020 as Ohio State co-defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley was hired as the program’s new head coach. He and the Eagles will be entering a rebuilding stage with several players, including star running back A.J. Dillon gone and a new coaching staff in play, which could make this a winnable game for the Jayhawks.
With home field, the Jayhawks could even enter the matchup as favorites, but it’s hard to predict them sweeping a series from a power-five foe this early in the Miles era.
Final Score: Boston College 27, Kansas 20 (1-2, 0-1)
In Week 4, the Jayhawks will look to avenge a 2019 home loss when they travel to the East Coast to take on the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers.
Coastal Carolina upset the Jayhawks with a 12-7 victory in Lawrence in 2019 to hand coach Miles his first loss as Jayhawks head coach. The Chanticleers went onto finish the season 5-7 and just 2-6 in Sun Belt play as they missed out on a bowl game.
This game will be important for Kansas not just to get revenge and pickup a road win but prove that their program is indeed improving. Thus, the Jayhawks should be to find a win.
Final Score: Kansas 31, Costal Carolina 23 (2-2, 0-1)
