[NU Sports] Another loss on Defense?

[Roy S. Lamberton]

Heinz' loss is bad, but he can be replaced by Henderson, who has the speed and
athleticism to fill in.

The big question is that other corner altho JB suggested that they just might
use Smith - the frosh at safety and leave Herschel at CB.

In any case, you must remember that our offense ran up and down the field
against the #2 D, and the #1 D, minus the starting 3 linebackers, did a credible
job stopping Bacher` and the #2 offense [the one with most of the backup WRs]

After the scrimmage, I am still not sure if it's a great O or a bad D, but Colby
told me that this is the best offense he's seen since he's been at NU.
