Izzy Scane is one of NUs all time greats. The LAX National championships matter Braun did well and overachieved at 8 -5 but the team had talent with the best receiver and DB group in a long time.

He was good at UC and this season kept NU football alive. 5 bowl wins, any bowl wins is great I remember being 1-9 in bowl games. Now Boo needs to get them to the NCAA tourney.
