Heupel Says Nico Good to Go in Current Presser

[Redleg68]

Honestly, whoever that guy is has a good point. Holding Nico is playing card helps rankings. But in reality, he doesn’t play.

Lets say he doesn't play and we keep the game within 5 or 6 points. Makes us 10-2. Nico plays last two games of the year and we hammer them. By last year logic of keeping FSU out because of QB loss--we should be the Cinderella of the 10-2 teams?

Thoughts on Thornton, Bishop or West being able to go?

I hope they just knew they could rest Bishop against Miss st.

I have no idea if he’ll play but I didn’t see an injury that caused me to think he had a concussion. I did wonder about a left shoulder injury but he didn’t show any signs of that on the sideline.
Edit: just went back and watched. I think his head did hit the turf hard enough to cause a concussion.

He is in concussion protocol and his status is undetermined per Pete Thamel via Twitter

Just saw that. I bet it’s 50/50

Just watched AP talk about it. He made it sound like tomorrow is the most telling day. If Nico doesn’t practice fully tomorrow then more than likely he isn’t playing.

Indeed, I would think so as well. My son got a concussion when he and his brother were jumping off their top bunk onto a bean bag chair. The 6 year old missed the bean bag and hit the floor. He was concussed - knocked out cold for about 10 seconds vomiting, couldn’t stay awake, etc- pediatrician said to go to ER.
Vanderbilt Children’s did a CT and before the scan they let us know they were very concerned it would be a brain bleed. If so, he would need to stay at least overnight.

Point is, a brain bleed is dangerous. If he’d had those kind of symptoms or they thought it was a bleed, he would have been taken to the hospital immediately. Highly doubt his parents would have even let him be on campus at all for a few days, much less dressing for football practice.

Parental Disclaimer: We did not know they were playing stuntman up in their room.

So did the 6 year old get to play in the big game that next weekend or not?????

I always have been under the impression that like attracts like ... therefore, the report which will be released later today will say, Probable. Feeling strong .... and confident that he will be cleared to play on Saturday. Totally uninformed opinion (with absolutely NO inside information at all) ... but ... I was right on Monday that Nico would be listed on the Wednesday report .... and I did think about staying at a Holiday Inn last night. :^)))) Hope you are wrong, too. GBO!!!

FFS, Move on..

I've thought this the whole time. Not that it's in Heupels mind, but Tenn is better off losing a close game with Gaston than Nico. I think Tenn can keep it close with him, enough at least the committee and everyone thinks it could've had a different outcome with nico.
