Because if they’re gonna play him I hope he gets better. What else is there to do?

There gonna play him .
Except that he is what he is . His stats may be better against weaker D’s but that doesn’t mean he’s better.
He’ll have good games and bad games but he is what he is.

Jimmy Holiday and Callaway too. Portal kills depth.

But can Dont'e really not play outside and do anything? I mean why not throw him out there? Maybe he will mess around and run 24 MPH past someone.

Seriously why not? Will he actually be worse than Keyton, Nimrod or Webb? At least we'd have talent out there.

At this point currently Keyton looks worse than Nimrod

There were two drives in the 4th quarter with 10 plays. One of them was a touchdown drive by Nico that started at the UVA 40.

The other was a 3 and out that involved Nico throwing a pass on 3rd down short of the 1st down marker.

What would you have done differently? He ran the normal offense. Maybe if he were a better qb he wouldn't have gone 3 and out, so he'd have gotten more plays in?

Nico also wasn't playing with the normal first string players either.

All I am saying is that I trust our coach. I do think if we don't trot Nico out in Denny's, we should at least think about trotting him out at Waffle House.

I trust our coach too, but eventually push comes to shove. OU was undefeated and playing their biggest rival when they benched Rattler for a true freshman Caleb Williams on there way to a win over Texas and an 11-2 season.

If Joe can’t improve, the rest of the team deserves a QB that gives them a better chance. If Joe could somehow find a groove that would be optimal, but he hasn’t looked comfortable running the offense all year regardless of competition level.

He also dropped back more than 3 times. He ran once, and there may have been one other.

This guy is spot on.

Sure. I would have liked to see more from Milton, but in the end, the game was coached to win. It was definitely not a let's hold on for the win game like we used to get with Fulmer.

237 yds rushing against A&M's defense. 🤪

He and Josh Pate are two of the better ones going right now imo.

Hope all the hype doesnt make Penix cocky. Seems like a solid guy. It's hard not to like him, but we've seen how people can change when they get a big head.

Between the last name, gitshirt and the injuries, mental strength and persistence happened. If I had to bet the fate of the world on one player not going Prime Time, it’d be him.

Coaches are playing Joe because they believe he gives us the best chance to win. I never said Joe played well yesterday though he made some nice plays with his legs. They're not playing him because they feel loyalty to him. They are paid to win football games. I am excited to see what Nico can do. I'll wait to see it until CJH thinks he gives us that best chance to win.

If you think Heupel will ever truly tell fans what he thinks, then I don’t know what to tell you. He is also a players coach and especially close to the QBs.

A lot of who starts at QB is based on who the team views as the leader and should start. Doesn’t mean they are always the better QB. But that changes when losses start to mount. Luckily we have been winning in spite of Milton.

Just dropping in to say that I am baffled by the +8.5 line. Hope the guys use that as us big time chip on their shoulder. It’s honestly a little bit disrespectful, even if it is in Tuscaloosa.

People in Alabama will be refinancing their Mobile Homes to get some of that spread.....
