On Wednesday afternoon, head coach Paul Chryst, who tested positive for COVID-19 along with five other coaches and six players, and athletic director Barry Alvarez spoke with the media and answered their questions about the virus, the upcoming schedule and what new protocols will be put in place to keep the athletes and staff safe.
