[NU Sports] Persa and Colter and the future...

[Beamsley, Jeff]

I suspect that Colter wasn't 100%. Lots of flu going around. 

Both Persa and Kafka didn't look ready for prime time in their early play either  Also we've seen that a running QB rarely makes it through a whole season healthy.  The good news is that there will be vigorous competition for the position.  That will push all of them to use the offseason to get stronger. 

Agree that the future looks bright.

Seriously, in order for NU to be successful we need to complete the short passes and run the ball, Watkins can do neither consistently, and we simply need to let it go...maybe it is harsh, but we need running quarterbacks who can throw to win…

With Mark, Smith, Colter, Dunsmore, Ebert and Persa back, we can run lots of great plays, with straight ahead talent, and lots of trickeration. I loved how Colter and Smith together kept the D honest when they played consistently together.
