Northwestern will be without two key members of its defensive front as they try to pickup their second win of the season on Saturday.
According to the weekly injury report released late Thursday, defensive tackle Trevor Kent and Earnest Brown IV will both miss this weekend’s contest against Iowa. Both players went down with injuries in last Friday’s game against Ohio State.
