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.
He was the guy most people approached for answers about what went wrong at the Chicago-based Big Ten university.
“At this point, we’re just playing football,” he said. “It’s an opportunity to look around with these guys. They have been working so hard to get to this point. There’s plenty of things I have to work on, but in terms of the heaviness of it, it was a relief to get a game.”, who was first suspended and then fired after allegations of hazing surfaced in the summer and spread to other programs at the university.
Wildcats linebacker Bryce Gallagher, who led the team with 19 tackles, said no one was hanging their heads after the game. The Scarlet Knights scored on their first two drives, with Wimsatt hitting Ian Strong on an 11-yard pass to cap the first and running six yards for the second. The first TD was initially called incomplete, but a review showed Strong had a foot down in the end zone.
“Big Ten wins are tough to come by,” said Schiano, who is in the fourth season of his second tenure at Rutgers. “No doubt it’s absolutely different, conference win. Wins are all good, but conference wins, they are better.”
