Third-year Wildcat head coach David Braun played it as safe as could be in his opening statement about Oregon. Maybe he heard what happened to Mike Gundy.
The former NU defensive coordinator under Pat Fitzgerald, Braun took over in 2023 after Fitzerald was axed after a hazing controversy. He went 8-5 and won the Las Vegas Bowl in 2023, 4-8 last season.
On Monday he said, "Incredible opportunity this weekend with Oregon coming into town, opening up Big Ten play. I’ll tell you what, Coach Lanning has done an exceptional job at Oregon. Not only are they very talented, but they are incredibly well coached.
