Northwestern looks to stop a 12-game losing streak and give interim coach David Braun his first win. Braun took over after Northwestern fired longtime coach Pat Fitzgerald in July amid a hazing and abuse scandal. The Wildcats opened with a 24-7 loss at Rutgers, their 18th in 19 games.
Interim coach David Braun has been the point man for Northwestern football since a hazing scandal led to a coaching change, investigations and multiple lawsuits. The past two months have not been easy, but Sunday was a rare exception as Braun got to coach in the team's first game since the scandal. Despite losing to Rutgers 24-7, Braun said, “I'll be honest with you, this is the lightest I have been since I took over."
