[Husker] McKewon on Caputo

[David Strong]

I don't really know much about Caputo except for his play...but let's
assume that, being a senior, he's been in the program a long time and has
been a model citizen in every way.  Great player, but also great team-mate,
great guy, just a good person on your team for all that time.  And now his
college experience ends on a downer.  I could see BP maybe looking for some
way to avoid that.  The problem is that he is, arguably, the most crucial
player on the OL and losing him would be a blow.  Puts BP in a bind.  I
feel he probably has to sit him at least a half, and explain clearly why.
