ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit Praises Illini QB Luke Altmyer Ahead Of Kansas Game

The Illinois Fighting Illini know today's game against Kansas is a huge opportunity for the program.

And ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit agrees.

"They haven't had a chance like this against a non-conference opponent," Herbstreit said on College GameDay. "I think it was 2011 that the last time they knocked off a non-conference, ranked opponent."

Herbstreit also showed some love for Illini quarterback Luke Altmyer. While Kansas features Jalon Daniels, Altmyer has a chance to make a statement.

"Luke Altmyer, by the way," Herbstreit said. "A lot of focus on Jalon Daniels. The kid at Illinois can play. He's got a lot of experience."
