Recruiting Football Talk VIII

What is everyone’s thoughts on Nico? So far in the SEC, Nico is:
7th in attempts
6th in completions
5th in completion %
6th in yards
3rd in avg
Tied for 6th in TDs
4th QB rating

Nico is throwing for about 223 yards per game. Which puts him on pace to have about 2600 yards passing. As far as passing TDs, he is on pace for about 24. He has 117 yards rushing and 1 rushing TD. That’s good for about 29 yards per game. Which would put him on pace for about 350 yards rushing total.

So is Nico about where you thought he would be? Better? Or worse?
He’s done everything we’ve asked him to, which we haven’t asked him to do a lot because we have had a great ground game. He’s definitely looked like a freshman at times by not identifying blitzers and stuff like that. But he will be alright, I give him a B

We’re winning, that’s all that matters.

UGA won with Jake Fromm. He never had more than 2900 passing yards in a season. He averaged 26 TDs per year at UGA.

I’ll add passing yards per game as well….
Nico: 223
Jake his SENIOR year: 204.3

Nico will also surpass him in rushing yards, but that’s obvious.

Obviously with no need for scorefests and the fact he has not played but half of 2 games, season stats are a bit jaded. Pretty sure some have figured it out with 3 FR of the week awards in our 4 victories.
 
Happy Friday. Hope all of you are safe. We lost power here.

SEPTEMBER 2024

September 27, 2024: It is okay to look back and evaluate where you have been and what you have done, but you must not get stuck there. Endeavor to stay present with God and with what he is doing in your life. There are lessons to be learned, goals to be attained, and things you will miss if you are not paying attention. Isaiah 43:18-19 Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
 
I do have to admit that Nico getting Heisman hype this season is a bit surprising, I think he’s been good but he hasn’t had a game yet this year where you look and say “yes that is the top player in the country.”

Unrelated, rewatching the NC State game a bit as I start cutting highlights from it...

The INT Nico tossed was a bad play call and a worse decision.

We had just 2 WRs running routes against their 3 man front, NC State dropped everyone in zone and didn't blitz... we kept 2 TEs and the RB in for pass protection. Nico should have either ran or thrown it away and move to the next play.
Even with that information, he threw the pass just a little too high for his receiver to catch. Otherwise, he was right on the money with that pass.

Learning experience that didn’t change the outcome of the game. JMO
 
Darn you people. All this talk about weight loss. I skipped the chips and quac at Chipotle.

Tells you all you need to know about the award. It's a popularity contest.
