Kansas gashed the Illini in Lawrence last season, but this year's game in Champaign should be closer. I worry about Kansas' youth and overall lack of size on the DL against an experienced, large Illinois OL.

The score last year was Kansas 34, Illinois 23 and it pushed the total of 57. Now we come into this season and we got a total at around 55. Kansas could have scored 70 if they wanted last week; they had 34 in the first half called the dogs off and only scored twice more in the second half. Illinois basically had the same thing: 31 in the first half and 14 the second half in a 45-0 win. Called the dogs off early. This game should be a Kansas win but it'll be close, close enough to just take the total in a game that'll be in the 30s for each team. Just the over.
