[NU Sports] Another loss on Defense?

[Jim Bendat]

Yes, it is another loss on defense.  But, fire up, our offense will 
outscore just about everyone we play!  Reports out of Kenosha indicate 
that Roberson and Sutton are fantastic runners.  Basanez is ready for a 
great senior year, throwing to a host of great receivers.  We will have 
a bunch of tremendous freshmen playing this year, but fear not - 
Michigan was led by two freshmen (Henne and Hart) last year.  No need to 
be pessimistic!  Go Cats!   --- Jim B.
