Nico not playing against Ohio St thoughts

[DeepSpringsVol]

I will probably be in minority here. I read that Nico will not play in Columbus against Ohio State. I knew it before I started reading the comments but the Buckeyes fans would "Guess he didn’t want another cracked helmet" "Didn't want another 42-17".

I am venting as Ohio States fanbase is so obnoxious I was rooting for Nico not necessarily to beat them as that would be too far from reality but get about 350 yards of total offense on them say 270 in the air and 80 on the ground. As much as I am frustrated with Nico I loathe Ohio State.

What are you guys thoughts? Were you hoping Nico would play against OSU or not care one ounce?

Pretty sure he wouldn't want to be embarrassed again, especially on prime time.

 

[TheTennesseeTom]

He doesn't want to get that ass kicked again!

 

[SubVet676]

One could make the argument that he didn't play against them last year either.

 

[BigBadVol]

He’s proven to be a quitter so why would anyone be surprised?

I read concussion. Did anyone watch the Nebraska game and see him take a big hit?

 

[VOLtaism]

I had guessed he would find a reason to miss the remainder of the season while collecting his NIL and canvasing to see where he will play next season. Just a guess.

He tripped over a helmet in practice

Didn't watch, but I heard he took a big hit when he took his circus to Westwood...



I'll show myself out, Freak.

I thought he was one of the only players I wouldn't have questioned for trying.

 

[TrojanorVol]

He wouldn't have anything to gain by playing some top competition, only some cupcakes like new Mexico, unlv ahh nevermind.

In this case, I would think that Nico and crew simply made a "business decision"..

He best be careful. He had one here last season against Miss St.

You have three concussions in college and generally the NFL will not even look at you these days

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

According to some on VN, the season is over for UCLA anyway and they SHOULD be starting the backup QB so he gets experience for next year.

He didnt crack his helmet while jogging off the field like most of our fans want to pretend.

He played the last offensive play for UCLA which was a TD. So either played with a concussion or got one this week in practice. I guess I should add or it’s a lie.

Let’s call it what it is.

Hmmm...I went back and read everything I could find on UCLA's "injury reports". Nothing until about 24 hours ago. In fact, I found an article from Wednesday where the coaches were talking about Nico playing against tOSU...about "taking it one play at a time"...what a leader he was, etc.

This reeks of a decision by Nico Nic to avoid getting embarrassed (again) at the Shoe. As I have said before, a zebra can't change its' stripes.

His NIL value continues to plummet. As does his draft stock. And rightfully so.

He’s not hurt. Just some “load
management.”

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I continue to ask why some of you care what Nico does?

 

[OrangeVolMan]

I continue to ask why some of you care what Nico does?

And we continue to ask why you post here.

I continue to wonder why people care that people care what Nico does.

There was a preseason interview where Nico said he was excited to have another chance at beating Ohio State with his new team. I guess he changed his mind after realizing his new offensive line is worse than his last one.

I guess it hurt his head just thinking about it.

Thoughts? They gone lose.
