Right. Soft tissue but the coaches did the right thing and kept him out of this one. I think folks were asking if he had a serious injury and that answer is no.

I didn’t know if you had learned something different than that. I had not heard anything other than probable.

You absolutely won't give it a rest will you? You have no earthly idea what the coaches know, but you are an expert. If they feel Merk is a better backup, they will do so. I trust their judgment far more than a fan that refuses to enjoy a very entertaining game. Continue to live this sad fanship. I truly feel sorry for the lack of joy. We won an the SEC and an amazing Sugar Bowl with a game manager QB replacing an all everything superstar QB. If I remember, we had a pretty good 3rd stringer on the bench then as well.

Huepel believes in him. I listened to his comments in the post game show. Said it wasn’t his best game but the entire staff is very excited about what he is capable of.

Now what do I do for the rest of the day. I guess my wife and kid should be next on the list to hangout with.

In the horrific situation in which the backup is needed I'm sure Heupel will go with whoever he feels best at the time. I like our QB's.

You seem to be upset about something. Do you get upset anytime someone doesn’t agree with your opinion? Calm down. My opinion is my opinion. If you disagree, great. Good lord you’re wound up tight. I’d suggest a few shots of some good bourbon. That might take your edge off.

I’ll put my knowledge against yours any day. Your water carrying for Martinez is laughable.

Martinez is a good coach. He produces NFL players every season. Players improve under him every season. The most obvious in recent memory is Taylor, Jackson, and Hadden. Be nice if y’all would get off hit nuts.

I agree and I believe they were pleased overall. In this case, the raw but talented 3rd string is being called for after blowout. I just don't get it.

That was a complete effort. The only thing missing was some Bru cookies, and a few more sacks. But defensively, I think we wanted to stay vanilla all game and not show our hand too much this week. Even offensively, we were very vanilla but also very effective.

To everyone who sat on here week after week last year and defended Bozooka Joe, now you get to see what we had sitting on the bench all last year.

The guy is in the ***** NFL and you are still spouting. Nico was not ready to take the job. Heupel did it right, Nico looked great today. He is still really young and will get better. That is the scary part. Let him develope

I just hate fans that look for anything to complain about. Let me ask you this, did you make any positive posts today? Did you find anything to be excited about? If you look at my posts, I will always call out those who call our players for no other reason than they have no idea what the coaches have planned. They held Nico out last season to let him acclimate to the offense. It looks like they made a pretty good decision as Nico looked like a 10 year veteran. Bet they have the same plan for Merklinger. The advantage is, they have a more talented 1st string QB to lead the team. Enjoy the blowout.

Well, at least some knew the potential. The Patriots seemed to like what they saw. Maybe Joe Milton III couldn't process the lightning fast offense of UT, but he seems more comfortable in a more normally paced offense. He is getting paid to play football. Not many on this site can claim that.
