[NU Sports] No one talking basketball

[Beamsley, Jeff]

Our challenge this year was the lack of a reliable running game. When  
you have to pass as much as we did, it puts a lot of pressure on the  
QB to make plays.

In years past I would be concerned about next year too.  A lot of our  
playmakers are graduating.

But the transformation of Kafka from a run only QB to one of the best  
passers on the BT was inspirational. I am now a believer in the  
ability of this coaching staff to reload rather than rebuild.

I look for the running game to improve as the o line matures and  
hopefully the kicking game will improve too.

Next year will be the first all-Fitz team. I have no evidence to  
support it, but my gut tells me it is going to be special.
