Northwestern makes QB change after sluggish start

The Northwestern football team is 1-1 to begin the 2024 season. The win came in Week 1 against Miami (Ohio) in a close 13-6 game. Week 2 was a tough one as Duke defeated them 26-20 on Friday night in double overtime.

However, the offense has gotten off to a slow start, and now head coach David Bruan is making a switch. After Mike Wright started the first two games, the Northwestern head coach is going to insert Jack Lausch as the starter, per Matthew Shelton of Wildcat Report.

‘BREAKING: Jack Lausch will start at quarterback vs. Eastern Illinois.’

Braun then added more about making the change, saying, “I’m excited for Jack Lausch and his opportunity to have his first college start and lead this offense” (h/t Matthew Shelton).

This will be the first career college start for Lausch, who appeared in just a handful of games in the past two years for Northwestern.
