@the1magageneral323 Because Illinois was ranked middle of the pack in FBS to start the season. With your logic Northern Illinois should now be a top 25 team for beating Notre Dame.
@@JoshuaBridgeman I never said anything about NIU. If anything NIU should be outside of the top 25. Illini on the other hand should at least be #22 or #20 after this win.
Missed those helmets Illinois wore in the early 2000's. Prior to this year, Illinois had some of the most atrociously boring jersey's in college football.
@@SirSmokesAlot-r8kHow about 3 interceptions and a strip and recovery of said fumbled ball at the end of the game? Illinois wasn't perfect, but maybe you should go back and watch the game, before broadly commenting.
@Gee2deDubya nah cause ku isn't good and seeing the comment on here how this was more impressive than NIU besting ND at ND means no adult discussions can be had
@@SirSmokesAlot-r8k You have an opinion, obviously, but fact of the matter, KU was ranked when they played, which means that Illinois defense played what is supposed to be a better than average team. I gave you actual stats from the game, you simply gave an opinion. If you want adult convo on this, I'd suggest proving your point with evidence, and not simply your opinion.
There’s a whole lot more before BB starts. Maybe this will be the pinnacle of the season and nothing more to play for the Illini. As Lance said post game, everything is still in play for the season.
What a great win for this program! I have watched these highlights videos for four years and watching where the Illini were and today is fantastic. Ditto Kansas by the way.
Their defense line got chewed up y ku run game, granted Illinois secondary is really good - no surprise as db coach Corey did his job and Illinois has a top notch db program.
Illinois has been producing some really, REALLY good DBs in the past 5-6 years. If they had a consistent Pass Rush, Man would they be tough! They are gonna be a tough out in the Big 10!
was real real disappointed when they hired Grimes as offensive coordinator, couldn't believe it! Trust in coach Lance, we'll see how he handles it, but the play calling was horrendous. Hard to have a game plan when the QB was stinking it up so bad also. Just all around bad night and hard to see the Jayhawks improve on last year at this point
Agreed and this is maybe Altmyer's best game ever for the Illini. Big pressure and he made no mistakes. If "Mistake Free" is the Illini strategy for the season then I'd say this is a huge step forward. Last weeks game was almost irrelevant by contrast. This is a team that easily dealt with us last year. Next week will be almost as irrelevant as last week. The 1st real test will be in Nebraska in 2 weeks. Even when they aren't the team that terrified others from the 50s to the 90s anyone goign to Lincoln knows it will be hard.
@@JoshuaBridgeman Yeah the Huskers are not what they used to be, but we have to play them in Lincoln and that place is a graveyard for teams that underestimated the Huskers.
D holding before the pass,, still holding while the ball is in the air, make it look easy one handed catch. Would the ref have tossed a flag if the catch hadn't been made? Maybe a save the time of announcing the penalty and declined or,,, just blind,,, or attempt to fix the game?
They ruled it as a miffed punt so Illinois never gained possession and then it was knocked into the end zone by a Kansas player so when Illinois recovered the muffed punt it was a touchback
As a Kansas fan in the stadium what an embarrassing performance from that offense. Credit to Illinois for playing a great defensive game. I think that punt muff rule needs to change. No way you should be able to fumble the punt and get 20 extra yards from it should be a saftey.
It’s not the same as any touchback. I agree with op. A muffed punt should be treated as a fumble since it’s a live ball. If a quarterback fumbled the ball at the 7 yard line and then recovered it down on a knee in the end zone that would definitely be a safety. If they allow this, then what is stopping a player from “muffing” the ball into the end zone to prevent the punter from pinning them on the 2 yard line? They don’t allow players to push or kick the ball into the end zone. There have to be consequences for mistakes in football. They should be forced to get the ball back past the goal line if they let a live football into their own end zone. They can’t reward a touchback for bad play like this. This is a loophole that should be filled. Should’ve been a safety. That completely shifted the energy of the game.
Wow….that was on Kansas QB….3 INTS….horrible….plus Kansas WR #2 (Lawrence A) was open all night…he had a mismatch the entire game!!!!! Bad coaching as well!!!! Kansas QB is suspect for sure & everyone seen it tonight!!!! Good win for Illinois though!
I wonder how much people will drag Kansas who a lot of people said would win the big 12, how much will people drag them for the loss. Talk about them. because as soon as CU lost yall dragged them . And Kansas lost to UNLV? LOL one
He never actually caught the ball so if he never had possession it wasn’t technically a fumble so therefore it wasn’t counted as a safety and instead a touchback
Is Kansas going to try getting a quarterback next year? I would not let him throw anything more than a rb screen.......nothing more than 5 yards......forget it .....just switch him to running back now......why waste time? Even better .....just bench him and see what the backup can do.
Bro that one handed catch was insane
Right! While being held ! 😮
4:05
Made him look like lil bro
He's one of the best wr in college football, he made insane catches last week too
@benlaw4647 Holding and being held. That’s why there was no PI either way.
I live to see the Illini back in their retro uniforms 🍾 🏈
Yep looks fantastic!
That one handed catch by #4 was special.
And northern Illinois had also beaten #5 Notre Dame 16-14 before this too. The state of Illinois has had two upsets last night.
Shoutout to the Illinois defense. They balled out!
This was the best game ive been to in my life yet.
Congrats Illinois from a KSU fan.
No nattys
@@Wilmastickfitcan yall beat us please? Yall actually can’t fw us 😭

#14 is player of the game! Also the Illini should be ranked #20 after this game.
Correct
Negative. Every time they become ranked, it lasts for a whole week. I'd prefer we stay under the radar till later in the season.
@@JoshuaBridgeman So what? After this game, the Illini should be ranked. Do you have a better argument for why not?

I agree ! Look fantastic now !
I love Illinois but Missouri is my father and Illinois is foot ball they own us in basketball.
I like it better than the blue I yall had. These older ones are better. Reminds me of the old Giants helmet in the late 80s and 90s
those wrs on illinois were cooking
those WR's coming in clutch for Illinois
AS A BUCKEYE I ROLL WITH THE BIG10
Illinois has been producing some really good Defensive Players the past 5-6 years. Especially DBs and interior D-Linemen.
I didn't watch the game but ky RB having 14 carries and over 100 yards rushing doesn't suggest a stout front
@@SirSmokesAlot-r8kHow about 3 interceptions and a strip and recovery of said fumbled ball at the end of the game? Illinois wasn't perfect, but maybe you should go back and watch the game, before broadly commenting.

I was there! I preformed as part of the bad. ILL

Whoot! Illini!
Illinois football underated
Big 12 VS Big Ten, and a week one match-up.🏈
Illinois defense is as legit as they come
Except for our rush defense
@@FoxTube_Editzyeah our rush defense could use some work
7.1 yards per carry for KU. Throwing the ball is the reason lost KU this game.
That’s what I thought too.
Their defense line got chewed up y ku run game, granted Illinois secondary is really good - no surprise as db coach Corey did his job and Illinois has a top notch db program.
if illinois had better pass rush bro we’d be pretty nice w it. super fun game and looking forward to this illini szn

They are gonna be a tough out in the Big 10!

THIS IS OUR YEAR!!!! B1G RUNS THROUGH ILLINOIS!!
LOL!
This was a gritty and well-earned win from UIUC. Big ten football am I right. Can’t wait to face y’all. Boiler Up.
Luke Altmyer(Illinois)=no TD/no INT.....Jalon Daniels(Kansas)=2 TD's/3 INT's(a fumble-lost)....
Illinois rushing yards 79......Kansas(with Devin Neal) rushing yards 186.....Conclusion = you can't win with 4 turnovers.
Agreed and this is maybe Altmyer's best game ever for the Illini.
Big pressure and he made no mistakes.

Defense for ku played great. Our offense though. JD with 3 interceptions. Yeah the offense lost us this game. Hopefully it gets fixed.

Nice game. You might want to cross the Mississippi though and check on Iowa before getting too bold.
@@johnlee7085 oh buddy that one’s in the bag this year 😬
Please keep those retro helmets.
Is the NCAA different in that touchback? He was tackled in the endzone after initiating contact outside of it, should have been a safety right?
No.
He never had possession of the football. If he had possession and fumbled, it would be a safety.
I thought this was a Mark Mangino Awards game? Honoring Mangino's accomplishments?
Illinois need to generate way more pressure than what they been doing 💯
D holding before the pass,, still holding while the ball is in the air, make it look easy one handed catch.
Would the ref have tossed a flag if the catch hadn't been made?
Maybe a save the time of announcing the penalty and declined or,,, just blind,,, or attempt to fix the game?
Both players were holding each other, so no. PI is unlikely either way. Great catch though.
Let's go Illinois!
The WRs different not humans
Not a fan, but wasnt that a safety on the punt? Receiving player touched the ball first in front of the goal line, then downed the ball behind it.
They ruled it as a miffed punt so Illinois never gained possession and then it was knocked into the end zone by a Kansas player so when Illinois recovered the muffed punt it was a touchback
@@mikegavel9014Thank you for this explanation
I was so confused when the play happened. I legit thought it was a safety
