Nico to start the bowl game? Confirmed

[Woodlawn VOL]

Oh I agree about Richard West but I read several days ago that AP had heard rumblings about Nico starting. It's not always RW.

Richard West spreads lies and misinformation. Always get a second source if you hear anything from West. Tell the world! GBO

Nick Saban’s desk at about 1:30 pm Monday afternoon

Be prepared VolNation, if Nico doesn’t throw for 6 TDs, 400 yards, run for 100 yards and throw 0 interceptions then the miserables will come on here claiming he’s not the answer. Just wait and see.

Merklinger will be the most popular player on the team.

Eat hardy guys….

 

[Ratvol]

Let’s not forget the whine…

 

[barney]

It's Nico time

 

[Ratvol]

And for desert…

Some guy on ESPN has him as the 11th QB and late 3Day or UDFA
We'll see how he does after Pro Day and Combine

May have to have ESPN+ to read, not sure

I still remember that game announcer a few weeks back that kept saying Milton was a Top 10 draft pick.

Naw he’s not a top 10 draft pick but he’ll get drafted. Even if it’s Mr Irrelevant lol but Purdy making use of his time

Nonsense

How does this affect his eligibility going forward bc I thought he would redshirt this year.

No change

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

It'll be fine.

Sure it will.

Bowl game has zero effect on redshirt.

 

[ATLVols]

Merklinger will be the most popular player on the team.

I hear you, but this Nico obsession is not because he’s the 2nd string guy. He is one of the top QBs in the country that has been on the bench.

Thanks! I wasn’t sure if it did or not!

It's funny. Heupel stuck with Milton all year even though his performance was very lacking. Milton didn't repay that favor and opts out of the bowl game. Speaks volumes IMO.

Getting that year of D1 strength and conditioning probably did him a world of good.

Nico will be a Heisman contender before Merk even takes a snap.

 

[EastTNVol6240]

Joe deserves to start. It is his final time in orange.

“Deserves”. Such a generational 2023 word.

Why do you believe that's the way it happened? Maybe they came to the decision together

I think you're reading too much in to it. Joe has nothing to gain from playing in a bowl game. Let those scouts start falling in love with those measureables. I could easily argue he is doing CJH and the program a favor by letting Nico get a full game under his belt.

 

[volfeeva]

still trying to grasp Milton , a pro ? which team needs him?

 

[UTwild82]

This website is going to be FANTASTIC the first time Nico makes a bad throw. At least 2/3 of y'all are going to call him overrated, terrible, a bust, etc.

Nico has barely played and there is no way you can say he is one of the top QB's in the country yet. Let's see how he actually plays over several games before we say stuff like that.
