Nico's last play against Arkansas (no throw)

[ftsandersvol]

If the pace of the offense and the speed of the game in general are too fast for Nico right now, why not give Gaston Moore some alternating series? Rhetorical question, it won’t happen.

The most fan-favorite guy on any football team is the backup QB.

no but it was embarrassing especially after Milton did basically the same was Ole Miss . Don’t leave the pocket just heave it to end zone

Nico not throwing the ball is not why we lost

Listening to him, one thing that I liked was how he was ready to move on and wasn't dwelling on the game. This guy has character.

He might move on, but I guarantee you he won’t forget. It’s how you learn to be better. I remember my bad plays way more than the multitude of good plays I had in rugby.

WTH does that matter. Trying to reflect blame for a decision most 8th grade QBs would not make is pretty pathetic.

Milton did the same stuff are they teaching this to the QBs or what

The weather control machines were jamming his brain…

Not sure I'm correct on this but a game can't end on a penalty giving us another shot at a Hail Mary.

Can't end on a penalty on the defense I believe

There you go. I'm not alone in saying Nico is young, inexperienced, and we will get reminded of this as the season moves along. I was pizzed on for daring to say such earlier. Well, now, here is someone else saying it better than I could.

I watched both plays in real time. They are different.

Yep Milton's was to the left side and Nico's was to the right.
In all seriousness I kept wondering why JH was playing Nico so much in these blow out games but I just do not think he's there yet and JH wanted as many live reps as possible. He missed some open receivers, missed a check down to open D Sampson, mishandled the ball that popped in Sampsons hand at critical time in the game basically running the clock down for Arky with that goof and then couldn't get a grip on ball last play just ran out of bounds to end the game and I actually think Sampson had no targets in the game that should never happen. NI is young and he will get better, I like a lot others jumped the gun and had him a hopeful Heisman prospect. A few freshman & RS Freshman QBs ball out like Johnny football but most take time. At least he is on a better projection than OU QB Jackson Arnold so it could be worse, GBO

Remember the Hell Milton caught for a very similar play?
I remember

The common denominator for both is poor OL play. It's killing us.
