Game Preview

After a hazing scandal led to the ouster of longtime head coach Pat Fitzgerald, Northwestern interim coach David Braun wants to focus on football as the Wildcats prepare for their Sunday season opener against Big Ten opponent Rutgers in Piscataway, N.J.

“My policy on that is we’re … less than a week away from our first football game. I’m here to talk about football,” Braun said Monday. “Our players are ready to talk about football. That’s what we’re focused on.”

Yet his players did not talk about football, because the program did not make any athletes available to the media.
