I’ll tell you something else too-
We are watching a RS freshman growing up and learning on the job. And are still in total control of our own destiny in the process. I remember when young Manning was learning on the job (and throwing picks to Florida twice at the goal line) that wasn’t the case. And that’s no slam on 16, just some context.
This is an amazing spot to be in.
And, we finally have a coach that appears to know how to bring a young QB along and not let him do more than he can handle at the moment. I know people were booing at some of the 3rd down handoffs, but Nico wasn’t comfortable. That will come. AND Nico is realizing he can run- and his decision making in that regard was MUCH better tonight- especially late.
I truly think he will grow into —and win- a Heisman trophy one day soon.
Life is good.
Bring me some damn Bama baby.
