I’ll take it a step further:


JG in his first year against Bama, Florida, Auburn, UGA:
698 passing yards 4 TDs / 2INTs


Nico in his first year against Bama, Florida, OU, UGA:
724 passing yards 2 TDs / 2 INTs

(Arkansas is prob better than OU, but he had less yards and no TDs in that game)


Again, apparently better offense, but same performance

Are you intentionally misleading ppl here or just bad at looking up stats?

Those are JG's numbers from an entire season lol

9 games

Indiana St, UGA, Bama, UMass, USCjr, UK, Southern Miss, LSU and Vandy.

Dude was 4/12 against INDIANA STATE

JG wasn't in the same stratosphere as Nico on any level.

What Heupel has done here in the last 4 seasons given what he inherited is nothing short

He is intentionally lying. He’s pulling up his stats from JG’s 2nd year playing

And he purposely included auburn because 328 of his yards came there lol. Otherwise he passed for 364 between Uga, Bama and UF while completing just 50% of passes

You’re both actually stupid lmaoo.

Both first year starting. Not that hard to comprehend. Again…FULL. TIME. STARTER

I took the 5 top toughest teams from each schedule.

AGAIN, those are JGs numbers from those 5 games. You’re such a genius.
JG (FL, BAMA, UGA, Missouri, Auburn)
He had 4 TDs and 2 INTs in those games

I did the same with Nico (OU, Bama, UGA, FL, etc)


Don’t ever comment on my post ever again unless you know what you’re talking about.

JG in his first 3 games against Alabama: 21-42 passing (50%) 163 yards 0 TD’s 1 INT, -38 yards rushing

Nico in 1 game vs Bama: 14-27 for 194 yards 1 TD 1 INT, 44 yards rushing

First you said the 4 hardest. Not you said 5. You didn’t even include Nico’s fifth game. You also said first time playing those games. JG played Uga and Bama in 2017. You don’t know what you’re talking about

The Vols head down I-75 to the always difficult venue of Sanford Stadium to face off with a freshly beaten Georgia Bulldog team that is desperate to stay relevant this season. Last time the Vols came to town, it was an epic showdown with number 1 Tennessee getting fairly well beaten by a motivated Georgia team. Let's see what it looks like this time.

Keys to Victory:

1. Pressure Carson Beck: It was a wild scene in my brain as I listened to the announcers talk about how Carson Beck was considered the number 1 QB in the country earlier this season, and could climb back into the 1st round again with some solid performances. My brain cells were burning mucho fuelo, trying to make sense of it, and I never got there. He's kind of trash. Yep... I'm coming in hot. He has passed for 459 and 439 on two different occasions this year, but this dude has an embarrassment of riches. 17 picks and 12 interceptions. We are talking Will Levis type of numbers here. He is not a handsome man either. And this is coming from a not a handsome man myself. It takes one to know one, and he is not one. Listen man... in the past 3 weeks, he has been sacked 8 times and thrown 7 interceptions. James Pearce needs to be all over that game tape because Ole Miss's James Pearce clone absolutely ate up that beat up Georgia OL. While Beck is capable of putting up some big numbers, you are going to need to dab me up with a little extra moonshine to think he does it against an aggressive Tennessee defensive line and a secondary that is in no mood for tomfoolery.

2. Ball Security / Unsecurity: Come... lean in closer... a bit more... turnovers will be big here. Tennessee has to take care of the ball better, especially in the redzone. Sampson lost a fumble on an perfectly executed ball dislodger last week. I mean, he had that thing wrapped up perfectly and it still popped. Georgia has turned it over 15 times this season, approximately 1.66 times per game. TN would like to be at least +2 in the turnover margin.

3. Dominate the Ground: Remember when Georgia would just roll out whatever 5* running back they had and just dominate? Well... that's not going to be what you see this week. While the Vols pop at 235 yards per game, Georgia, believe it or not, is 104th with 124 yards per game. Trevor Etienne became the latest to take the money and run from Florida to Georgia and has been warm slaw. Sure, he's injured or whatever, and so was Dylan Sampson when he was still churning out yards, so you get no tears from me. Georgia has a strong run defense, but the Vols are stronger. Miss State was concerningly strong running up the middle at times on Saturday. Tennessee will need to be better and have a convincing edge in the running game.

4. Press the Kicking Game: This does not set up to be a shootout. Flipping the field with effective punting and returns on the other side of the equation will be key. Seeing Boo Carter average 10+ over the course of 7-8 punts would be a tremendous benefit. Max Arnold, got his groove back, and we will likely need it. Redzone efficiency has not been stellar. We are 111th, scoring only 77% of the time and touchdowns only 54% of the time. That will not win championships, and it will not win this game. Tennessee needs 7 75% of the time on Saturday and they need Max converting on the other 25%

Prediction: It's been 4 years and 4 days since Georgia has lost back to back games. There are a lot of irrelevant statistics that say Georgia wins this game. It's become tiresome to hear the media count this as a loss all year long. This is a matchup of two very flawed, talented teams, and it will come down to matchups and turnovers. I think Nico is ready to go. I am concerned about some of the other walking wounded, but we should know more later this week. UGA is beat up on the offensive line and Carson Beck is not handsome, and he may be lacking confidence after another 1st round worthy performance vs Ole Miss. I love the fact that Ole Miss looks very much like Tennessee in offensive and defensive philosophy, and they just laid out the blueprint. Does this help Georgia to learn and prepare better for Tennessee? Maybe. Heck... let's see how this shakes out.

TN 24
UGA 23

Well we didn’t do number 1

He threw 7 times. What does that tell you in 2017. Dormady started lol

It was always the 5 toughest games. Are you dumb?

You cherry picked what you want and didn’t include a 5th game for Nico. Include UK and it’s an extra 292 yards a TD and no INT. You’re a Buffoon

 

[TrippieRedd]

Meant 5, not 4. That’s on me.

5 toughest teams from each schedule here ya go:

JG: 4 TD / 2 INTs
Nico: 2 TDs / 2 INTs

We’re equally dumb

Your stats are still wrong

 

[TrippieRedd]

Your stats are still wrong

Ark is better than UK. You’re picking UK because that’s Nico’s best game.

I’m picking Auburn because that’s one of the toughest 5 games on that schedule. (WVU, Vandy, UK, USC)

If you wanna include one of those teams then instead of Auburn, that’s fine but he still threw 2 TDs against UK and USC

UK’s defense is statistically much better than ark. They’re nearly the same with ou. And in 2018 UK had one of the best defenses we faced(better than auburn) Again. You’re just cherry picking what you want

 

[Smokey123]

UK allows 60 less yards and a TD less a game. Log off dude

 

[TrippieRedd]

Okay I’ll take auburn off and put UK

Nico: 2 TDs / 2 Ints
JG: 4 TDs / 2 ints

Arkansas has a better record and you know, gave us a loss

“Log off dude”

 

[Smokey123]

Record doesn’t mean anything lol. The QB doesn’t face their offense

 

[AllVol11717]

Against the top 5 toughest teams on each schedule
Nico: 58% passing
Milton: 59% passing

About the same overall

That’s also a 700th year QB in his third year in the system vs a 20 year old starting his first year (second in the system).

No one’s saying Nico doesn’t need to play better, but I beg you to go watch a guy like Jaydon Daniels between his ASU tenure, his first year at LSU, and his Heisman season. Hell rewatch our 22 game against them where the announcers are saying the QB position is holding the LSU offense back.

QB is a position that takes a ton of development and maturation. It’s why I still think letting Joe start the back half of last year was a huge mistake. If Nico had gotten 3-4 games at the backend of last year he’d have gotten more comfortable in conference play and any issues would have a whole offseason to address.

I think Nico will have a huge jump next year but it’s very dependent on two factors. The line is pretty much overhauled except one maybe two if Karic has his Covid year. Hoping Warren, Sham and the rest of the young guys pan out. Then the WR’s. Brazzell, Matthews need to take a huge leap. Squirrel needs to at least get back to last year’s level of play. Staley also need to take a leap and get playing time cause I can’t stand watching Nimrod go out there get open and drop balls anymore. Hopefully this all comes to fruition because I think Nico is growing despite what people are saying. His stats weren’t amazing yesterday but for most the game he was very decisive and good at escaping pressure. No real big mistakes except a couple of plays could have been even better if he made a different decision.

Nico and Heard both need to hit the film room and allow themselves to be coached up this offseason. If we want to take that next step, them consistently playing at an elite level will be necessary.

Something needs to change with the offense. It needs to evolve to be more than run game and deep shots

I think they will. I see improvement from both. They’re not perfect but they are rs Fr. Out of all the other contenders in our conference how many have rs Fr or Sophmores at both those two positions.

So I think they’ll be in the lab all offseason and get even better. They’ve gotten better each week and will continue to. Wish it would been a little bit more improvement before last night more for Heard than Nico. That false start and getting pushed back so deep too many times was Heards problem yesterday.

The tools are there for both of them. Hoping Nico and Heard look as comfortable as Hendon and Darnell did going into their second year in Heupel’s offense

Agreed. And I doubt Virginia tech saw what Herndon hooker turned in to as well..

I think many of us, self included, assumed a little too much about where Nico was in his development. I've seen enough of him this year to know he's super talented with an extremely high ceiling.. He's just not the now.

I also think we thought a little too much of the wrs. Good.. Yes. But I'm not sure they have that competitive edge that says get the ball.. It's mine... And I'll fight for it.

The o line.. Good run blockers.. That's proven. Pass pro.. Very meh. Tight ends.. They've been good. Running backs.. Very good.

So lots of pieces are there.. some Needs some work, and for Nico, I think this season will definitely help him Going forward... Experience is a fantastic teacher.

Losing sucks especially when you can look at it and say you played a part in it.

 

[Midas]

The thing is Nico has even more tools than Hendon. Slightly quicker and slightly stronger arm. His deep ball accuracy hasn’t been the best but I think it has to do with him getting pressured so much. That throw to Donte in the bama game I don’t think we saw Hendon ever roll out like that and make a pass down field like that. If the line improves and Nico bulks up I think we’ll see him be more comfortable sitting in there and launching those.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Seriously, it can’t just be bad luck at this point. What in the holy **** is with QB’s crapping the bed all year then playing like a heisman contender against us? I thought for sure Beck would be good for at least one pick or boneheaded decision tonight.

When a SEC caliber quarterback has all day to throw, then they're going to look like heisman contenders. Beck looked so good last night because Banks only rushed 4 most of the night and if there was pressure, Georgia was able to hold without being flagged for it. Which is what happens in most SEC games.


Nico is elite, when he has time to throw.


*I'm also seeing why Texas a&m left the Big 12. They got sick of being screwed over, just so Texas and Oklahoma could run that conference.

 

[Jackcrevol]

I do not understand how our 2 loss team, 2nd in SEC is held to different standard than others.
