Northwestern junior DL Earnest Brown (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Saturday’s game vs. Iowa according to the team’s latest depth chart.
Last year Brown (6'5/254) played in all 14 of Northwestern’s games collecting 22 tackles, four sacks, 3.5 TFL and three passes defended. This year he already posted 15 tackles with two sacks and a tackle for loss in six games. Northwestern’s defense has had to make up for one of the worst offenses in the FBS, but has still performed reasonably well by allowing 345 yards and 25 points per game. The Wildcats host Iowa this Saturday for homecoming.
