Star Northwestern running back Justin Jackson joins Zach Pereles on a special edition of Pound the Talk. They touch on a variety of topics, including Jackson's recruitment to Evanston, his running style and the family atmosphere the team has built. Jackson discusses how he feels about his nickname of "The Ball Carrier" and takes some Twitter questions as well. As always, they wrap up with a lightning round of questions, including "Is hotdog a sandwich?" and "Which NFL player would you like to hang out with most?"
