Note that just now on Twitter (following NU's Wednesday morning practice),
cout's NU reporter Chris Emma said that Persa fully participated in
ractice today, looked good, and Fitz said he'll start on Saturday.  Just
hought I'd share with everyone, I'm sure there will be more details in
onger form later in the day.

 As with all QBs, Kane is one hit away from being done for the season. We
 saw what happened
 last year when Persa went down.

 2. Personally, I think Coulter's future is as a slot back, a position where
 he can run the
 ball, catch the ball, and throw the ball. Maybe run some direct snap stuff.

 And remember Eric  Peterman? The guy who ran for a TD, caught at TD and
 threw for a TD in
 one game? I can see Coulter in that role with an accurate, big arm guy
 taking most of the
 snaps.

 If the spread is all about keeping the other guys off balance, Coulter as
 "slash" just
 might be the answer for the next 3 years.

 No doubt that Trevor has an impressive arm, and has a huge upside. It's
 clear from the
 game and Fitz's comments this week that Trevor was basically slotted in as
 the "passing"
 backup QB for this game. Whether that was due to his superior passing
 skills, or is more a
 result of how busy Kain is getting reps at WR, I don't know.

 However, I still think Colter could be a great starting QB for us. The
 dual-threat QB
 thing is awfully intriguing, and his throwing skills would certainly
 continue to improve
 given how dedicated he obviously is.

 But I wouldn't be surprised if Siemian does end up in the QB role next
 year, with Colter
 as a WR/QB "slash" player. He's already scary-good as a WR despite very
 limited reps. Zack
 Oliver may have something to say about all of that too though.

 In any case, I sure hope Persa is good to go. However good Siemian may
 become, he's
 probably nowhere near Dan's level at this point. Consider that his PSU
 outing including an
 overthrow on what would have been a sure TD to Ebert (which might have
 given us a chance
 to pull out a victory), an admittedly perfect throw into triple coverage
 that nearly got
 Ebert killed, plus another incompletion.

 I generally agree, but on the other hand, it was really working well at
 times against PSU.
 It's a fine line between getting your own QB's out of rhythm versus keeping
 the opposition
 off balance. And given Kain's success running the offense, you can
 understand why they do
 it.
