No. 19 Kansas looks for signature road win against Illinois
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) - Much will be on the line Saturday when No. 19 Kansas faces Illinois at a sold-out Memorial Stadium.
The Jayhawks (1-0) will be looking for a signature road win.
The Illini (1-0) want to erase the bad taste in their mouths left by a 34-23 shellacking by Kansas last year in Lawrence. Kansas scored on four of its first five drives against Illinois, going 75 or more yards each time, and led 34-7 in the third quarter.
"We're going on the road to face a Power 4 conference team. We need to find a way to win a game like that. That hasn't happened here in a while," said Kansas coach Lance Leipold.
