Illini football is no stranger to being the underdog.
The Jayhawks are projected to win on Friday by three points according to the official betting odds.
This comes as no surprise. Kansas is fresh off a massive win against Missouri State where they dominated on both sides of the football.
Quarterback Jason Bean went 22 of 28 for 276 yards and two touchdowns en route to a 48-17 final. The Jayhawks had 521 total yards, 245 of which came from rushing the ball. And the Big 12’s Preseason Offensive Player of the Year Jalon Daniels is expected to play at some point during the game.
