Maize n Brew continues its preview of the Big Ten conference with a look at the three key players for the Northwestern Wildcats, our team of the week.
Justin Jackson, sophomore running back
Nobody knows who exactly will start at quarterback for the Wildcats this season, but the running back position belongs to one man, and one man only. Justin Jackson will be the centerpiece to the offense after finishing fourth among freshman from Power Five schools in all purpose yards per game last season. (98.9)
The key to stopping Northwestern will be shutting down Jackson, who had six 100 yard games in 2014.
