Kansas football will take on Illinois tomorrow as they look to improve to 2-0. Here is all of the information you need for the big game.

The Kansas Jayhawks are set to begin their second game of the season when they take on Illinois tomorrow night in a crucial Friday night matchup. The game is exactly seven days after KU won its season-opener against Missouri State.

In what could be a major factor in Kansas’ potential bowl eligibility, the Jayhawks need everything to go right for them if they want to pull out a win. Star quarterback Jalon Daniels is expected to return, albeit in a limited capacity, and defensive coordinator Brian Borland will call plays again after missing last week due to a personal matter.

Illinois finished 8-5 in 2022, good for third in the Big Ten West. They struggled in their 2023 debut, barely slipping by Toledo with a last-second field goal. One of the top defenses in the nation last season should give the fast-paced Kansas offense plenty of trouble.
