Freshman running back Brandon Campbell has also provided a spark, rushing for 129 yards and a touchdown on 31 carries. Kansas is 2-14 in its last 16 road games, while Houston is on a six-game home winning streak.'

The Jayhawks lead the country in points per game (55.5), which starts with quarterback Jalon Daniels. He has thrown for 408 yards and four touchdowns, while running back Devin Neal has 14 carries for 150 yards and four touchdowns.'
