Ivory CoastAidan Chiles Out Again as Northwestern Prepares for Ohio State
Northwestern senior quarterback Aidan Chiles will miss his second straight game on Saturday when the Wildcats play No. 20 Ohio State.
Chiles sidelined with upper body injury
Northwestern will be without starting senior quarterback Aidan Chiles again this weekend. The Wildcats play No. 20 Ohio State on Saturday, and Chiles was listed as out on the Big Ten injury report released on Wednesday. It marks the second straight game he will miss.
Chiles has been dealing with an upper body injury, and his timeline to return to action remains uncertain. The transfer from Michigan State has provided a major spark for the Northwestern offense this season. He has passed for 1,898 yards and accounted for 23 touchdowns with only one interception. Chiles also ranks 14th in the nation with a QBR of 81.3.
Marchiol gets second straight start
With Chiles sidelined, Nicco Marchiol will start at quarterback for Northwestern. Marchiol, a transfer from West Virginia, stepped in last weekend during a 24-10 loss against Iowa.
During that contest, Marchiol completed 24 of 32 passes for 181 yards and one touchdown. He faced consistent pressure from the defense and took six sacks. Marchiol also made plays with his legs, running for 52 yards on 23 carries.
Ohio State looks to end losing streak
Ohio State enters Saturday hoping to get back on track after dropping two straight games.
Last weekend, the Buckeyes lost 41-28 against Oregon. In that matchup, Oregon backup quarterback Dylan Raiola threw for 257 yards against the Ohio State defense.
