Walker credits success to new faces

Every Monday through Thursday night, junior quarterback P.J. Walker and his backup, redshirt freshman Frank Nutile, show up to Edberg Olson-Hall around 6 p.m.

For two-and-a-half hours, the pair sets up in the film room at the team’s practice facility, often fueling up on whatever food they can get their hands on.

“Me and him will come down here for a couple hours a night and just get ready for the game,” Nutile said after last Tuesday’s practice. “Last night, we had some nice powdered doughnuts, so that was big time.”

In Friday’s 60-40 win against Southern Methodist, Walker completed 18 of 25 passes for 268 yards and four touchdowns along with 49 yards rushing and one rushing score.
