Heupel Says Nico Good to Go in Current Presser

[Enki_Amenra]

Per Heupel moments ago, practiced today.
First question asked:

 

[VolArmy74]

Per WBIR, Heupel just said Nico was with the team and should be good to go on Saturday. Hopefully he's telling the truth.

 

[TVOLS]

I'm not sure this even matters; Beck is happy winning or losing.

 

[Volbrando]

Also said they can follow the injury report that comes out Wednesday. Said the same thing about Thornton. I’ll believe it when I see it honestly but hope they both play

 

[Orangeblood98']

Means nothing unfortunately. I think he may play personally but I like the fact that our opponents has no idea right now

exactly...let them prepare for 2 qbs

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

Sorry, but there’s no special preparation necessary for Gaston.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

I’m usually a pessimist, but I believe Nico is fine and will play.

welll he has a nice Lambo to drive around Campus

 

[Volbrando]

Sorry, but there’s no special preparation necessary for Gaston.

It would be the overall game plan might be different

 

[Vols All Day]

Glad to hear Nico will be able to go.

The fact Beck is riding around Athens in a Lambo and is one of the few GA players without a ticket speaks volumes.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Sorry, but there’s no special preparation necessary for Gaston.

Have you heard anything about Nico?

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Does Heupel really even know at this point? If Nico is in protocol doesn't he have to pass a phase of tests to get cleared first?

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

The not-so-good at quarterback gameplan?

We don’t even know if it was a concussion or that he’s in protocol.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

Have you heard anything about Nico?

He was at practice suited up. I’ve been explicitly asked not to comment on player injuries or private health matters until it gets into the public sphere. My own personal opinion is that he’s going to play, but it is an ongoing day to day situation.

The Great Coach Heupel would never lie Damnit!

Best case scenario. Gotta be ready to roll either way. Obviously rather have Nico but if he can't go then GM is who we are rolling with.

Thank you

Especially considering what’s waiting at home. I’d be Burt Reynolds coming home from Texas.

 

[Nicovfl8]

Think they were just being cautious because without him Saturday, we have no chance.

Kirby already knows there's no way we want to start anyone except Nico against GA.

Whether Nico starts, and he likely will even if his shoulder is held together with baling wire and duct tape and he's wearing 3 stacked guardian helmets, or Gaston Moore starts, Kirby is going to stack the box and go after the QB aggressively.

If he can rattle either of our QBs early, he gets momentum and goes for the throat at home.

 

[OrangeInKy]

Sorry, but there’s no special preparation necessary for Gaston.

Defensive staffs study tendencies of qb's, and the offensive strategy/formations could change with a diff QB which chages the way the Defense plans. Could also affect the personnel.

Thank you for enlightening us.
