Nico is not ready

This is why you bench Milton half way thru last year.

Nico can be the guy but he needs to catch up to the speed of the college game and he’s just not there. You only get there with experience—which he should have got last year. Frustrating to see the obvious.
This all day. They should of played him last year and got all this out of the way.

And if anyone starts applying pressure there, he'll resent it - understandably so to some degree - and then you'll just have a big ol' stinkpile of trouble figuring out that situation.
Then he can fu##### leave.

I think this was a good experience for Nico. He has some film to study his mistakes and be better for it down the road.
314 yards 3 TDs
211 yards 2 TDs 2 INTs
173 yards 1 TD
193 yards 1 TD
17/29 158 yards

Were the first four not enough experience to get him better for tonight?

Really? I don't see the other highly touted QB's doing 'dumb crap". They WIN.
What concerns me is I haven't seen a ton of wow plays from Nico. I follow Michigan State and they also have a young QB in Aiden Chiles. He's turned the ball over a ton but he's also made some holy smokes plays. Not sure what Nico is at this point.

Make him play "Monkey in the middle" with every defense man coming at you , one at a time. Toughen you up quickly.

Nico is not ready, not all his fault, the play calling was also bad, but he missed an easy pass at the end I think to the TE, he also has no urgency about him wasting time at the start of drives, not running looking down field WAY too long... Gaston Moore needs to start, he might not make some of the big plays Nico does but he will make the little ones consistently. I'm not giving up on Nico, but he needs to sit and watch Gaston run the show and learn.

This is the dumbest post in the history of this board and that’s saying something. Delete this **** mods

Are there handcuffs though? Last year it was Joe. This year it's Nico. Maybe the handcuffs are Heupel and the key was Golesh

Really don’t see the cuffs? Heupel didn’t run on 3rd and long on the regular with Joe, but did it multiple times today. He would’ve let Joe sail one a hundred miles per hour into the upper deck. He’s not even giving Nico the chance.

The penalty on e the punter gave them a spark and new life. We had momentum and that killed it.
Dumbest play of the night by The freshman. Although, he did have a lot of competition. Over 10 penalties that affected nearly every drive we had or gave life to theirs.

When that happened, I told my son that's going to haunt us. This game made me nervous when I first saw it on the schedule, but I was surprised how flat we were coming off the bye. Hope they play better next week because I have tickets to the Florida game. LOL! GO VOLS!!!
