Nico should've went in after Joe's first drive in the 2nd half, but Heupel is clearly not moving from Joe. Just going to have to playcall in a way that doesn't put the game in Milton's hand. Running game and DL good enough to win every game on the schedule that isn't Bama/UGA... Not sure what's happen in those two. UGA with Bowers would leave me extremely unconfident.

Bowers went out in 2 quarter today. Didn't play rest of game. Other then RB Edwards their offense didn't look all that special

And what are all of you basing the "Nico is great" on? He has yet to take any meaningful snaps in any game against an SEC team. Yes he was great in high school, but that is true of almost every player that is signed out of high school.

Yes they would. I can guarantee you some would say the success was because of the WRs or the other teams defense was bad.

No they wouldn’t, you’re just reaching. If Milton ever has a game like that I will search all threads to see if someone posts something negative about the performance and say you were right.

You may have missed this but not every player coming out of high school gets rated a unanimous five-star. It has been nearly thirty years since we had a consensus five-star QB. In the meantime, multiple four-star QBs have played dramatically better for us as true freshmen than what Milton is doing. So yeah, he’s just another kid out of high school.

Agreed. I would love to be proven wrong about Milton. I would eat crow, wear sackcloth and ashes. But at this point it is obvious our own coaching staff has no faith in his passing ability so why should I?

I know what he was in high school. Hopefully he becomes what everyone hopes he should be. But folks willing to sacrifice the season is insane.

I don’t care we just ran for 232 yards against one of the best run defenses in the country.

Yet it came down to the wire because we couldn't pull away. They're very good at run blocking. Most OLs are at least decent. Questionable in pass pro. I'm glad we won but I'd rather Nico get the luxury of an OL that won't get him killed by a backside 3 tech. Unfortunately the OL will be worse next year.

All of you need to just get used to the fact that the offense this year is going to be different. We have a running game that has thus far been effective. Each week we need to take advantage of the match ups and do what is needed to win. If that is Milton handing the ball off to a running back every play, I don't care as long as we win.

Go back and watch Ollie Lane. Holding penalties, missed blocks, idiotic personal fouls, yet he’s started every game. The fact that they don’t bench him tells me they don’t have anyone that is better, and that’s pretty bad.

He may be a weak spot but our rypg suggests as a whole they are performing pretty well.

I really doubt there is anyone left who thinks Milton is the guy to get us any kind of championship. But, other than the very untimely INT he is a stabilizing force and when he does run can do damage with his legs. I guess my question is do we stick with his game management and just give up on the passing game realizing our WRs are not exactly world class either or do we go ahead and give Nico his chance? My honest opinion, while likely to be unpopular, is not to throw Nico into his first start at Tuscaloosa. Start Milton but have Nico ready if our passing game is as impotent as it was tonight. We could try the two QB thing too.

We are not winning a championship this year my friend. Let’s win as many as we can, appreciate what we got. This is light years better than Butch and Pruitt. We’ll get there eventually

Where the hell is this Donte thorton guy and if Milton has a coming out party (big ass IF) at Bama, well t hen they make him a Heisman trophy contender immediately....but i've seen crazier **** happen in college football...thanks to the guys that play in the HIll that aren't 6 year seniors that really want to play to win to.....Start Nico at Ky if Milton struggles next week again...hell look at Drew Allar from Penn St last year when he played as a freshman and how good he looked and he was a 5 star like Nico was a 5 star coming out of high school. Even the commentators tonight were saying that ain't no way a 6 yr qb thows a pass in the middle of the field to be intercepted down inside the red zone like Milton did...inexcusable....He makes middle school qb mistakes with ease.
