Heupel says Nico in next week

[me_grag53]

Why play if was a little sore from the lick? It’s not like we didn’t control the second half. GBO

Looked like he landed chest first o. the ball. That hurts

 

[Kicker82]

Wasn’t there rumors he’s been playing with bruised ribs? The hit he took looks like it was right to the gut which may have made it too painful to continue.

 

[Mccage]

it's a joke stupid. Similar to the 60's Beetles rumors about Paul being dead. Some of you young guys are hopeless.

I’m 74….I’ve seen a lot of death in my life and there’s nothing funny about it.

 

[hUTch2002]

The plot thickens

It’s a Gruden sighting!

 

[All Vol!]

If memory serves, when he left the game vs Bama it was also described as an "upper body injury." Didn't stay out long on that one. If there had been more concern about the outcome of the Miss St game, he may have returned in this one too, who knows.

 

[Titan&Volfan4life]

It worked out fine.

Nico got a little rest and Gaston got extra reps, just in case.

Gaston deserves to play some if we don't really need Nico.

The more he plays the better he'll sling it for TD's.

VFL...GBO!!!

 

[VolRage]

It's a cover up! Nico died during half time and the guy you see playing against the Bulldogs next week is fake Nico (Fake-O). Just start playing game video backwards and you will hear the secret messages about Nico being dead.

 

[steelejacs]

Nico will be fine next week, good to know Gaston can fling it as well. I think they went x-rays to make sure all was fine. We handled them well without Nico. Got Gaston some reps, I like how he managed things and wasn’t afraid to take some shots. GBO!

Me too

 

[steelejacs]

Bro, stfu. You’d be on the ground crying after one hit by an SEC DB.

Right

 

[rocytop2624]

Thornton has been our best receiver . Every time we throw him the ball the dude catches it.

He keeps the stickem

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Thornton is soft. He doesn't like getting tackled

Unnecessary ignorance

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Him not coming out after half might be the answer. Pretty odd if you ask me

I don't think anyone of any note would ever ask you.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Thornton is soft. He doesn't like getting tackled

You’d be the first one crying after getting tackled by a Division l athlete

 

[EastTNVol6240]

I’m 74….I’ve seen a lot of death in my life and there’s nothing funny about it.

You’re gonna see more. That’s life. Stop being so dramatic.

 

[INDEFENSE]

Looked to me like he has a left shoulder but that's a guess.

 

[orangescamper]

left arm never moved

Noticed that as well.

 

[cardvolfan]

Thornton is soft. He doesn't like getting tackled

I love keyboard warriors calling players grinding on the field “soft.”

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

I love keyboard warriors calling players grinding on the field “soft.”

Yep, it's laughable, and yet pathetic too

 

[WoodsmanVol]

He’s our best big play receiver.

Doesn't matter, Pep, canniVols gonna canniVol.
As for Heup's say on Nico, well, our Heup is sneaky when it comes sharing info about player injures. Just hope he's being forthright on this one.

 

[OLEVOLFAN]

Josh says this hoping UGA gonna prepare for NICO then Gaston Starts the Game. Sadly they use injuries to throw of their opponents. Yes it does happen believe it or not

 

[Sarms58]

Thank the Lord- even if we lose I want to see our best vs theirs.

Hope Thornton is ok on his 70th injury this season too.

He went down kind of funny…hope he’s ok.

 

[#1fulmerite]

But he's soft and doesn't like getting tackled. True story, I read it here.

I didn’t like getting tackled either when I played. Might be why I seem to have ran faster when I had the ball and the other team was chasing me!

 

[77' Vol]

Was good to see Mike Matthews in the game.

 

[fossilfiction]

Thornton is soft. He doesn't like getting tackled

Man, this is a terrible take.

 

[VAVol85]

Yeah. He has to make UGA prepare for Nico’s legs. I’m not believing anything I hear this week unless it’s Brent Hubbs saying he saw Nico taking first teams reps during practice

I am with you up through “not believing anything I hear this week”. Hubbs colleague, Price, assured us Heard was ready to go for Oklahoma.
