As it has been released we are in the first team out spot, my Battered Vol Syndrome really has me thinking Heupel needs to sit Nico for UTEP and not risk any potential injury ala Florida State / Jordan Travis 2023....

There is virtually no upside to risking any potential injury to Nico in a meaningless practice game.

There is a lot of non SEC teams in the playoff rankings that will eat each other and likely present an opportunity for us to slide in. With that in mind, I do not believe we need to risk any scenario where other teams help us out only for us to not be graded fairly like Florida State did last year by getting hosed in the playoff because of a QB injury.

Ummmm...no
Nico needs as many real game reps as feasible to work on WR timing, option reads, check downs, etc.

Yes i'm sure people will be so happy that he had an opportunity to home in on the deep balls against UTEP in the event he gets hurt and the CFP has a reason to exclude us since key player injuries have been a major component the last 2 years.

So you want to sit a QB that needs more reps?

Sounds smart 👍👍
