[NU Sports] Football Talk

[Jonathan Hodges]

I've been out of the loop for some time, but this conversation has
missed what is likely the most glaring deficiency, which was
especially obvious over the final 3 games of last season: defense.
While Persa's ability to lead the ball-control offense certainly
helps, it still won't fix the problem of just not being able to stop
anyone, especially on the ground.  This will be especially critical
when facing a team like Nebraska whose strength is easily on defense
and won't let even great offensive teams run up the score.
