The Jayhawks made the trip to Illinois with the confidence and talent to capture a non-conference road win, but didn’t execute well enough to earn it.

The Jayhawks sent their punting unit onto the field, and eventually took a delay-of-game penalty after which the referees reviewed an incompletion on third down. After the game resumed two hours later, Kansas punted the ball — now on fourth-and-7 — while leading 21-17.
