Thorson exits with injury
EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) Northwestern quarterback Clayton Thorson is questionable to return to the Wildcats' game Saturday against Penn State.
With 3:09 to go in the first quarter, Thorson was hit by Carl Nassib after completing a 13-yard pass to Christian Jones. Thorson stayed down and was taken out after suffering a lower-body injury, replaced by Zack Oliver.
Thorson entered Saturday's game with 1,119 passing yards and six touchdown passes.
Not the greatest day for Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenberg (No. 14) on Saturday.
