Kansas football coach Lance Leipold previews KU’s away game at Illinois
Check out what Kansas head coach Lance Leipold had to say Monday ahead of the Jayhawks’ road game against Illinois on Saturday.
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Kansas’ 2024 football regular season resumes Saturday with a non-league road game against Illinois.
The Jayhawks defeated Lindenwood last week to open the season 1-0. The Fighting Illini are also 1-0 after a season-opening win over Eastern Illinois. The two teams met last year in Lawrence, where KU earned a 34-23 victory.
Kansas will be the favorite as it is ranked No. 20 in the nation, but Illinois has home field advantage, so it’s an exciting matchup.
