MADISON — Last weekend, sophomore quarterback Jack Coan prepared for the first start of his career in a rough road environment at Northwestern.
On Saturday, an injury to redshirt junior Alex Hornibrook again thrust Coan into game action, this time in relief.
Two games. Two different situations. Two different outcomes.
“Yeah it was definitely different,” Coan said, “but I always try to prepare the same way each week and prepare as if I’m the starter, so not much really changed.”
That mentality helped Coan lead three touchdown drives in the second half of Wisconsin’s 31–17 win over Rutgers on Saturday.
