CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Kaden Feagin scored on a 1-yard run with 9:34 left, David Alano made a 43-yard field goal with 58 seconds left and Illinois rallied to defeat No. 19 Kansas 23-17 on Saturday night.

Illinois (2-0) beat a higher-ranked non-conference opponent for the first time since beating Arizona State (then ranked 22nd) on September 17, 2011. The Illini also avenged a 34-23 loss last year to Kansas (1-1).

Feagin scored after Luke Altmyer completed passes of 37 and 28 yards to Pat Bryant during an eight-play, 80-yard drive.

Altmyer completed 16 of 25 passes for 192 yards. Zakhari Franklin caught nine passes for 99 yards and Bryant caught three for 70 yards.

Kansas’ Jalon Daniels completed 18 of 32 passes for 141 yards with two touchdown passes and three interceptions.

Daniels fought through and found a completely free Lawrence Arnold in the end zone for a 13-yard touchdown pass that gave the Jayhawks a 17-13 lead with 4:57 left in the third quarter.

Luke Grimm caught nine passes for 40 yards and a touchdown for the Jayhawks. Devin Neal ran for 101 yards on 14 carries.

In the last 3:05 minutes of the second quarter, the teams scored a combined 17 points.

Illinois led 13-10 at halftime thanks to Xavier Scott’s 28-yard return of an interception with 36 seconds left in the quarter. Scott recognized a screen pass attempt by Daniels and ran unchallenged into the end zone. It was Scott’s second interception of the game.

A 50-yard field goal by Alano with 2:27 left in the quarter was set up by a spectacular one-handed 42-yard catch by Franklin on the sideline while Kansas’ Damarius McGhee held his other arm.

The Jayhawks took a 10-3 lead with 3:05 minutes left in the half on a 3-yard touchdown pass from Daniels to Grimm in the back of the end zone.

THE RESULT

Illinois: The Illini have proven they can compete and beat a higher-ranked opponent, which is a good sign considering they have games against No. 8 Penn State, No. 10 Michigan and No. 7 Oregon coming up in the next six weeks.

Kansas: Despite the loss, the Jayhawks showed they have a strong running attack led by Neal and a solid defense. Illinois’ offense scored just one touchdown — albeit the game-winning touchdown — gained just 79 yards and had just 14 first downs.

Impact on the survey

Kansas made some bad mistakes, including a penalty that negated a touchdown and Daniels’ interceptions that ruined drives and allowed Illinois to take the lead late in the first half. The Jayhawks will most likely fall out of the top 25.

Next

Illinois: Hosts Central Michigan on Saturday.

Kansas: Hosts UNLV on Friday night at Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City, Kansas.
