'24 Recruiting Forum: Official Citrus Bowl Pregame/Game Thread

Said it before the season. I’ve been trying to tell everyone. Nico was ready. Heup just went with Joe.

It is what it is. We get Nico for another two years. He can bring us a title.

You underestimate the benefit he's had of learning for a year and being able to start vs the slower Big 10 vs a faster SEC defense.

Iowa's defensive numbers are more a reflection of the Big 10 offenses they've faced vs how good they truly are.

Nico for heisman yo

This again

Nico looks so comfortable out there. Reading everything correctly. Man, this is fun.

 

[LakesiteVol]

Nico has been so impressive so far.

 

[Volbucky]

You S&C guys, how much weight can Nico add by fall?

100lbs if he quits working out and starts eating Olive Garden everyday

 

[turdherder11]

Why no talk of Heup not trusting Nico? Barely throwing the ball

No wrs. We're getting zero separation down field. Also we've got a few drops . Iowa will give us the comebacks. I'm not really counting those.

Because just like this entire year. It's the WRs that aren't trusted not the QB

 

[Orange_Crush]

This Bowl win is brough to you by Schrute Farms.

 

[Ten_Titans]

If Nico has this kind of vision and speed as a runner, that much more imperative he puts on another 20 ish lbs. Very excited. I think he's a more talented runner than we've had since Dobbs.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Completely worth the $8 million!

Sign up for the Vol Club, yall.

Let the offseason hype begin

 

[LargePairOfVols]

Nico already more decisive than Joe on the run. Better athlete. Also looks better in the pocket although it’s early…lets see.

Example A would be Keyton dropping that gift

That ESPN announcer is trying to give it to him today. I love that

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Excited to see Umarov get some playing time.

I do think 87 and 34 would be good targets for today.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Just checking back in to say...Nico looks like Hendon running the ball.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Excited to see Umarov get some playing time.

Saw that and was like who tf is that

 

[Dudley Smith]

He just glides through traffic

 

[sammyjoey]

16-0 or bust in 24

Think this is becoming more apparent today. Gameplan hasn’t changed at all. Joe didn’t throw it down field much. Neither is Nico. No WRs to throw to.

Agree 100%.

It’s just stuff we heard all year about Joe. The difference is Nico is more willing to take off and run.

But the other offensive issues remain like you said.
