[NU Sports] Persa and defense

[Jonathan Hodges]

You likely will see some Siemian, per Teddy Greenstein:

I agree with you - Colter is currently excelling in his "slash" role as
QB/WR and I think that the coaching staff is making good use of him - he's
made some nice catches so far and seems to be getting open pretty well at
WR.  Not sure he has enough durability to be an every-down RB, so I think he
is best used in his current role (plus, he has enough of an arm to keep
those plays in there).  Meanwhile, Siemian seems to have a better/more
accurate arm and has made some solid passes in really tough situations; I
hope that NU continues to utilize their 2 QB system with Siemian/Colter like
they have this year with Persa/Colter.
