2014 Preview:

Defense: Starters Returning: 7
After a 4-0 start in 2013, Northwestern lost seven straight before its lone Big Ten win over Illinois. The offense could throw more with QB Trevor Siemian (7.2 YPA, 11 TD, 9 INT) under center with returning WRs Christian Jones (668 rec yds) and Tony Jones (630 rec yds). RB Venric Mark (1,366 rush yds, 12 TD in 2012) is back healthy, but his O-Line is green. S Ibraheim Campbell (74 tackles, 4 INT) leads this opportunistic defense, but LBs Chi Chi Ariguzo (106 tackles, 4 INT) and Collin Ellis (77 tackles, 3 INT, 2 TD) are always around the football. DE Ifeadi Odenigbo (5.5 sacks) is a pass rusher on the rise.
