[Husker] Suspensions and injuries around the Big Ten

[Mike Nolan]

Not that it will impact Nebraska at all (or Illinois very much), but Illinois
has suspended LB Jonathan Brown for the Indiana game for kneeing
a Northwestern player in the groin.  The Big Ten has also
publicly reprimanded Brown.  (Which probably means he will get
closer scrutiny by officials the rest of the season, though I
thought he should have been ejected from the game.)  

Iowa has suspended their backup QB, A. J. Derby, for two games following 
his arrest over the weekend for public intoxication and punching out 
the window of a bus.  He is only 20.  

And Northwestern RB Mike Trumpy is out for the season with a torn ACL.
Dan Persa was back at practice today for Northwestern.
