[NU Sports] Sutton for Heisman

[NEONRye at aol.com]

If the Heisman is the goal--and TS will certainly now be among the  
"mentioned" going into next season--then Coach Walker has to stay, as he  understands 
running backs better than most Head Coaches, having been one  himself, and he 
recruited our frosh stud.  The last thing Tyrell needs is  to have the rug 
pulled out from under him with a new HC and new Offensive  Coordinator.  In any 
event, barring a collapse from here to the end of  the season, RW probably saved 
his job with today's upset.  The team  played well and played hard and played 
with heart and spirit, although the lack  of a pass rush is just impossible 
to overlook.  We gave Stocco enough time  to read the Yellow Pages on most 
plays when he dropped back.   
 
 Meanwhile, Mr. Basanez stepped up in class today and may have gotten  
himself into contention in next Spring's NFL Draft.  He can throw and he  can run 
and he can think and react under pressure.   I think a lot of  teams could at 
least envision him as a decent back-up, although at 6'2" and 215,  he is not the 
classic NFL QB size in these days of behemoths behind  center.
