[NU Sports] Fwd: Let's Play to Win

[John Labbe]

I agree that CJ looked better when he was in there, but he wasn't 
getting as much pressure, which I think was due to the fact that Purdue 
had pulled its starters and/or just weren't playing as hard with a 3-TD 
lead with a minute to play.  But he did look more confident and more 
able to get out of the pocket and still make a play.  In any case, I've 
heard he's our best passer, so if that's true and he's playing well 
enough in practice, I say give him the call for the next game.  What do 
we have to lose?
