2. KJ Jefferson has best game since October

The last time KJ Jefferson passed for over 300 yards was on Oct. 15 against BYU. After starting the season with 14 touchdowns and just one interception, he has thrown just eight touchdown passes to three interceptions. He’s going to rebound in a big way to end the 2022 season.

Against Kansas’ lackluster defense, Jefferson is going to pass for over 300 yards and throw three touchdown passes. He’s also going to complete over 70 percent of his passes.

Although he may not have 367 passing yards like he did against BYU in that impressive win back in October, he’s going to have his best performance since then. He’ll have over 300 yards and another 40 on the ground with three total touchdowns.

Jefferson is coming back for 2023 and this is going to be a heck of a way to build some momentum and confidence for next season.
