"It's much easier to call offense from second-and-6 than second-and-16." -Braun on the team's penalties impacting the offense

"We anticipate Nick [Herzog] being available for us." -Braun with an injury update on the NU OL. Herzog started at LG in Week 1 but did not play due to injury in Week 2

Braun said he's 'cautiously optimistic' that DT Brendan Flakes could be back this week, and DT Carmine Bastone is less likely but still expected 'sooner than later'. That was also his response for Bastone last week, so take that with a grain of salt

"Not one bit. This decision is solely based on the 111 guys on this team and our best interest going into Week 3." -Braun on the impact of Lausch's future eligiblity in the decision

Lausch is a redshirt sophomore. If he pans out and stays healthy, he could start upwards of 30 games for the Wildcats

"Knowing my rhythm and voice, not sure if you want me teaching the fight song. But looking forward to engage that group for football and other sports here at Northwestern." -Braun on teaching students the fight song at Wildcat Welcome
