[Husker] McKewon on Caputo

[Andy Knipp]

And I also think there is no reason to rush, since the next game is two
weeks away.  Of course, getting some time for a backup in practice is
critical if Caputo is suspended.  I also *think* that Long will move from G
to C (esp if A-Rod is back).  Has anyone heard anything on injuries ?  I
really hope A-Rod and Randall are back for the game.

The assumption was that he would be suspended...and he still could be. But I
think Pelini is waiting for more information to be uncovered.

The cynical side of me suggests that Pelini doesn't want to suspend his most
experienced center, as Cole Pensick hasn't played much this season.  (That's
mitigated slightly since Pelini's nephew is the next in line after Pensick.)

The realist in me suggests that Pelini views this situation differently
since Caputo wasn't actually driving when he was arrested. Perhaps Caputo
told Pelini that he didn't realize he was that impaired when he started to
drive home, but after he started, he realized he shouldn't be driving, so he
pulled over.  The legal system doesn't care about that; he still was in
control of the vehicle, so he still would be in violation of the law.  That
detail might mean something to Pelini, and affect his final decision.

I don't presume to speak for Pelini on this, but am only speculating as to
why Caputo hasn't been suspended yet.

I did not realize that Caputo had not been suspended yet.
