Game Primer: How to Watch, Things to Know for Kansas at Nevada
The Kansas Jayhawks made their case last week to be taken seriously this season. This week, they are just looking to keep that positive momentum going in preparation for the Big 12 opener next weekend against BYU. Standing in their way is one of the worst teams in all of the FBS: the Nevada Wolf Pack.
Kansas is receiving votes in both Top 25 polls, and could find their way into the Top 25 with a big win tonight. These two teams have never met on the football field, and the Jayhawks last traveled to the Pacific time zone in 2002.
