[NU Sports] Thoughts

WE WIN!  That's good.

Kain Colter played a gutty game.  That's good.

The D came up big at the end.  That's good.

The offensive line looks somewhat improved over last season.  That's pretty 
good.

We won without Persa.  That's amazing.

However . . .

We still have a weak pass rush.  That's real bad.  Five sacks isn't bad, but 
three were coverage/confused QB sacks (including the last one) and one a 
safety blitz.  BC's offensive line won't be the best one we play this year.

Colter has a long way to go to become a passer.  That's just the way it is 
for now.  Granted, the play calling was necessarily conservative, but we 
were one play from going into overtime and maybe losing.

We didn't cover well.  That's another real bad.

We still don't have a dominant runner.  That's awful.

We still can't get the short yardage for a first down.  That's deadly, as it 
almost was today.

We gave up 100+ yards to another runner.  That's fatal.

We have lots and lots of improving to do.  That's a fact.
