    Northwestern Wildcats coach Pat Fitzgerald was still unsure as of Wednesday who his starting quarterback would be in next week's season opener.

    Fitzgerald has yet to make a decision between senior Dan Persa and sophomore Kain Colter because Persa, who ruptured his Achilles tendon last season, hasn't been completely cleared by Northwestern's medical staff. If Persa is deemed OK, he is expected to start against Boston College.

    Fitzgerald planned to talk with Persa and Northwestern's medical staff next week before making his final decision.

    "I think No. 1, it's health, safety and well-being," Fitzgerald said after Wednesday's practice. "You know I've said this a million times. I would rather put a guy out a day late or a month late than a day early. I'll err on the side of our medical staff."
