Northwestern will need all hands on deck if they hope to take down No. 3 Ohio State at home Friday night, and it appears a talented piece of its offensive puzzle will be available for the Big Ten matchup.
Because of various injuries, including an unspecified knee injury suffered in the season-opening loss to Stanford, Isaiah Bowser has recorded carries in just three of Northwestern’s five games, none of which have come since Sept. 28. Thursday evening, the Wildcats released their injury report for Week 8 and not single player is listed, including Bowser.
As an added bonus, Bowser is listed as Northwestern’s No. 1 running back on the depth chart for the Ohio State game.

With Bowser in and out of the lineup, Drake Anderson has a team-leading 366 yards and three rushing touchdowns.
