Dear Friends: I read the editorial 'Bo Nix for Heisman". I'm an LSU grad, but fully recognize and appreciate the phenomenal season Bo Nix is having. If both he and Daniels finish strong and Nix wins, I'll be highly disappointed but can't objectively complain about the result. However, I take issue with Mr. Perkins stating that quarterbacks should pass and running backs should run. Where is this rule written? Nowhere. That philosophy went out of the door decades ago. Voters for Manziel, RGIII, Cam Newton, among others, would disagree. Burrow even ran the ball effectively. Even if this were the standard, Daniels has more total yards, TDs, yards per completion, and a higher QBR than Nix. To his credit, Mr. Perkins didn't bring up our three losses, as the Heisman is an individual award and many players (including Paul Hornung on a 2-8 Irish team) would have been deprived of outstanding seasons. That said, may the best man win, good luck in the Civil War, and Geaux Tigers! (Still in the Coach O voice! )
