After an unthinkable offseason for Northwestern football, the ‘Cats have reported to training camp and have begun preparing for the 2023 season. With multiple allegations of sexual hazing and racism having rocked the program, and long-time head coach Pat Fitzgerald subsequently terminated, X’s and O’s were in the back of everyone’s minds for the past month. Now, with David Braun at the helm, the Wildcats will attempt to improve from their dreadful 1-11 record last season.
It is a tall task for the first-time head coach, who has never even stepped foot on an FBS sideline, to guide this squad to an average season, let alone a successful one.
