He's a freaking freshman....... just like the idiots talking about hot seat for Heupel.

Sophmore. He dressed out every game last year. That redshirt just means he gets a 5th year if he doesn’t move on before then. I sincerely hope he doesn’t have to repeat any courses this year.

This fanbase needs to be very careful with what is put out into the webs. These kids can all leave anytime. Talking mad sh1t about a freshman QB in his second road start is not a good look. Anyone with a brain knew there would be struggles regardless if he is paid. Secondly it's really none of our business what he is paid.
If reading a message board post makes a player so upset they leave then that proves they are soft and don’t belong here. What makes you think anyone deserves to go through life without being criticized or talked bad about,

Caught this on another website. 2nd to last play of the game. Watch how open Sampson is.

Vanderbilt... lol

I personally don't think Nico is the problem, it is how we are coaching around him but I will state that Taylen Green looked like a far better QB than Nico Saturday night.

Perhaps instead of investing in unproven High School QBs, we should be trying the Vandy strategy and going and finding a solid G5 level QB and paying them to transfer over.
Because that system is not sustainable and hurts your HS recruiting.

Let's hope our staff figures out a few things and balls drop on the OL or it will be a long night Saturday. I am with LittleVol they have to use the backs and TE's need some slants and dig routes mixed in.
TEs slso need to block better and catch passes when they are targeted. They really had a rough day against Arkansas.

You’re giving yourself and all of us way to much credit if you seriously think for one second some 19 year old making millions gives a **** what a message board says. As a fan base we aren’t unique. We’re nothing more than a bunch of middle aged-old men whining and crying about some 18 year olds playing football. There’s really not much more to it than that.

It was unbelievable how many whiffs and false starts there were. It's on the road at night, so stuff happens, but those guys should have handled that better.
I can almost understand when they walked several safeties up to confuse the Oline. There were times when they just sent three defenders and got pressure. One of the worst Oline performances I’ve seen in a while in pass protection here. I expect Florida to run the same defense and give a lot of looks like this to confuse the line.

I know it’s almost impossible to play call around a terrible Oline but we had some things we could’ve done to slow the pass rush. We had ways to punish them but didn’t even try.

No loss is on coaches for a terrible game plan. No urgency or creativity at all.
How many times did we run up the middle on third and long? I questioned how much coach trusts Nico. I don't remember many long runs to make me think that running on third and long might be the best play call. This game is definitely on the coaches.

WRs weren’t getting separation on the vertical routes and Pass protection/ Blitz pickups were so bad that there was no time anyway.

This is why I’m not fond of modern spread offenses. Sometimes you’ve got to get under Center with an H-back, and go 4 yards and a cloud of dust until the defense stops playing flag football. We’re either going to have to start playing more 12 personnel or really turn Nico loose with more read option to keep defenses honest. Arkansas just did what UGA has been doing to us the last few years.

This. I begged to run 12 personnel in the 2nd half. 2TEs, hat on a hat, run the dang ball like we did at Oklahoma. Especially when they were in Dime defense all game...and moreso when Bru and Squirrel were hurt. Its a no brainer.

We will see 12 personnel vs Flarduh this week I bet. Time for the Oline to bust some heads, and those 3 TEs to earn their keep.

Yall think we lose that game in 12 personnel? Our defense only gave up 12 points before we let them score the last TD after being on the field all game long. You think we could score 14 or more points in 12 personnel vs Ark to win? We scored 25 on a better Oklahoma defense right?

So do we know the grading on the OL from Saturday night? Who did well and who wiffed the most?

Yes. Rocky Top Insider always publishes the PFF grades for each game. Both tackles were in the 40s which is horrendous. They are both hurt though tbh. Spraggins and Cooper werent good either. Karic graded out decent in the 70s, best we had. Fwiw Bishop gave up 2 sacks, 1 by TE and 1 by Sampson as well. Everybody sucked blocking except Karic. Even he had that crap call for being downfield. Everybody had a bad game on offense sadly

And every other team in America has Twitter and their versions of Volnation and their own idiots.
That may be true but not to the level our fans go on social media. And if you believe otherwise you are as dumb as the rest here that just want to constantly spew negative bullsh1t..... we lost a game and looked bad doing it. Do you really believe we didn't want to win ? Do you really believe Nico was ready last year when everyone that acted sensible told you people Joe gave us the best chance ? If so may be a good reason why we are having this debate. He is young, we have a lot of young guys in some position who can potentially cost us a game. QB, T, LB S it is not to make excuses it is the reality of experience in this league. It is not the end of the world and oh check out the threads here today about Hot Seats etc you don't have to look hard to find what I am talking about.

All that’s pretty much true , but if think the rest aren’t on the same level then you’re the one that’s dumb.

Maybe some of yall can watch and learn that Nico isn't the only guy on the field. WRs weren't getting open and our OL is soft as hell getting manhandled by a 3 man front

OL sucks. Starts with Elarbee. Why is this guy still on staff?

I realize there are only just so many running play carries to go around, and that Sampson is our main guy ... but I am so badly wanting to see a bit more of Seldon, Peyton Lewis, and Khalifa Keith in there. 🤷

No one blames Nico. Kid is a talent.

Loss is on OL, WR, and to an extent the kid who got roughing punter call.
That was a soft (if by the letter correct) roughing call. Just like the hands to the face call that Nico got a few possessions earlier.

And throw the ball in the middle of the field for crying out loud. There’s no rule that says you have to throw everything outside the numbers
