Nico/Vols Performance and Recruiting

[the_great_pumpkin]

Michigan only had 2 touchdowns against Iowa,we had 5.

That's because we "ran the score up" on them.

Frustrating as hell. They were momentum swingers big time.

Too bad Keyton has everything a top WR needs; but the Hands.......

 

[Doctrippin]

He didn't throw many, or really any deep passes except the one Keyton missed deep that was a sure touchdown. That was on Keyton because Nico was on point. He didn't throw it to the other team, not even close to it. I'm superstoked for '24!

Six sacks can keep you from throwing deep. Run offense was good but protection offense has got to improve

 

[Big Orange stuck in Bama]

Yep and all our RBs need to stop the dancing and tip toeing.

Our RBs ran for 188 yards, not bad

 

[LTVol]

And how much are you offering Evan in NIL money? Asking for a friend …

Give him Thorton’s money

If you're a WR unsure about where to play in 2024...

Evan Stewart (TAMU 5* WR in Transfer Portal): Come on Down!

We need DB's and LB's way worse. Hell after seeing Sampson "block" yesterday I might be looking for a stronger RB as well.

Overall, I think Nico looked great. Yes, he failed to see some open receivers but that's to be expected in someone's first start. NOBODY sees the field perfectly. He looked comfortable in the pocket, he ran when he needed to run and his throws were crisp and accurate. I'd like to see more downfield passing because the one pass he threw to Keyton that Keyton didn't see was a DIME.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

I haven’t heard that. But maybe. Sounds like we’re not meeting his NIL demands but so far neither is anyone else.

Yes, he has a visit scheduled this week. What have you specifically heard that "sounds like we're not meeting his NIL demands" ?

Stoerner has posted that on this board a couple of times.

You could tell Nico was disappointed with Keyton on that play. Got to make that catch!

That is a bit troublesome for me. Our "veteran line" gave up 6 sacks. Just a little disconcerting

 

[PC Jr.]

My post wasn’t a knock on Nico. He only attempted 19 passes for 150 yards and was running for his life most of the game. The leading receiver had 50 yards. if I’m a stud receiver I don’t look at this as motivation for me to play there.

For a veteran QB, I’d agree. But Nico is brand new. His ceiling is high. The talent is there. Now, we’ll CJH and company coach’em up. Pretty good situation … Bru is coming back too.

We have two stud RBs coming in and we are in good shape at DBs and LBs. I am looking for TEs and O linemen.

The long ball is beautiful but he didn't have to throw it.Nico managed the game,Nico won the game.Great start to a great career.
