Northwestern will be without starting linebacker Nate Hall today. The junior suffered a knee injury in practice, as reported by WGN Radio’s Dave Eanet.
Tough news for NU LB Nate Hall. Will miss today’s Music City Bowl with knee injury suffered in practice. Senior Warren Long makes first start. More from the coach on our @WGNRadio pregame show shortly

Hall is Northwestern’s second leading tackler and a huge part of its top ten rushing defense. He led the Wildcats with 16.
