Quarterback Kain Colter is starting at quarterback for No. 19 Northwestern against Syracuse on Saturday, but star running back Venric Mark is not playing.

Colter was questionable after suffering a concussion early in last week's season-opening win at California, forcing Trevor Siemian to carry the load. The two usually split time.

Mark is out with a lower body injury.
