[NU Sports] Persa is down

[Jonathan Hodges]

Fortunately the 'Cats get a week of practice with Watkins at the helm which,
as NU has seen over the past couple of years can help a lot (NU won at Iowa
in '09 after Kafka injured his hamstring and at Minnesota in '08 after
Bacher went down).  Watkins definitely does not have the same escapability
as Persa, so that part of the game is likely out, but he has an arm.  Also,
I don't think we'll see different receivers at all since NU routinely has a
10+ receiver rotation during the game and don't have guys exclusively
dedicated to the 1st/2nd teams.  I believe he's capable and we'll see what
happens.

Go 'Cats!!!
