5. The game goes down to the final minutes, and potentially overtime

The more I look at these two teams, the more I realize how even they are. They each have their respective strengths and weaknesses, but nothing sets them apart. The Illinois vs. Kansas football showdown should go down to the wire.

After seeing the stunts Illinois pulled last time out vs. Toledo, I don’t anticipate a blowout in their favor. This game will be as dramatic as possible.

Next. Grades, game balls from Jayhawks win over Missouri State. dark
