Kansas' Identity has seemingly been determined.  A very good offense in a league of great offenses and a less than great defense in a league that's full of them.

The weeks opponent Missouri brings a very similar defense to the table as the Jayhawks, but does boast a better offense and a style of play that has been bad news for Kansas this year.

Where this one might be decided is in the turnover department where both teams arrive with identical turnover margins.  However, perhaps the best news of all is you can throw all this out the window for the Border War this is going to be a game of will, heart and who wants it more.
