Couple of NU things:

5 Big-Time Players Who Deserve A Bigger Spotlight
Five players who have been a bit under the radar on a national level, but should rise up and be among the season’s best players.

1. QB Clayton Thorson, Jr. Northwestern
2. LB Josey Jewell, Sr. Iowa
3. NT Conor Sheehy, Sr. Wisconsin
4. S Josh Kalu, Sr. Nebraska
5. LB Markus Bailey, Soph. Purdue

5 Non-Conference Games That Big Ten Teams Had Better Take Very, Very Seriously

1. Nevada at Northwestern, Sept. 2

5 Best Pro Prospects
1. RB Saquon Barkley, Jr. Penn State
2. DT Maurice Hurst, Sr. Michigan
3. DE Tyquan Lewis, Sr. Ohio State

Sounds like WI has two DTs who will be a handful. Bit of a departure for a team that has recently featured outstanding LB play and some very good DEs.
