The Official #21 Tennessee vs. #17 Iowa Citrus Bowl Game Thread, 1:00 PM ET, ABC

[rocketskates]

Need to start scoring. So far this is a typical Ferentz boring poo poo game.

 

[vols1071]

Davis with 2 whiffs and just sacked Nico. Having a heck of a game

 

[Volfan574]

Did Davis think he was protecting Nico?

 

[joevol33]

Mark my words, Nico is a QB. This offense will be rocking, maybe not today, but just like last year with Hooker, it's going to get better each game.

 

[jmacvols1]

Poor form but good tackle by Davis

He'll have a tfl in his stats

 

[heath.hinkle]

Probably trying to protect him from taking a big hit.

Agreed

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

After 15 min of my expert film study, I can safely say Nico is about a million times more decisive than Milton on when to take off and run with the ball. LOL

 

[jim285pro]

Nico is good. Great awareness and footwork. Game is really fast right now but will slow for him after a few starts. Future is bright.

 

[Delmar]

Ugly game

Expected to be low scoring.

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

That’s never been our problem. Hooker threw his first read over 90% of the time.

This isn’t a west coast progression style passing game.

I agree but his first option was usually open

 

[bpalmer28]

We got a good crowd there.

Iowa is LOUD on TV

 

[CAVPUT]

That’s never been our problem. Hooker threw his first read over 90% of the time.

This isn’t a west coast progression style passing game.

Either the Iowa DBs can run pretty good after all or our WRs just aren't up to snuff....or maybe both?

 

[deezvols]

He'll have a tfl in his stats

Gotta boost those stats

 

[wmcovol]

Pretty much same offense under Nico… penalties & dropped passes stopping them.

 

[mpfvol]

So is he going to be our right tackle next year? Bc if so we are in big trouble

I think he is gone after this year . I may be wrong

 

[perico]

Receivers not helping young Nico, gotta learn to throw it away. Our future is bright for sure volnation!!!!

They weren’t exactly helping Milton either, but agreed

 

[DeadByDaylightFan]

Anyone still questioning if Nico can play at a high level. ?

wondering if Nico will want to stay and play with WRS and RBs that literally can't catch a ball

 

[RAVOL]

Poor OL even when Nico runs into you blocking you get the blame. In CHRIST Alone

 

[posivol]

These WRs need to buy some better gloves and use the ball machine on high all offseason

got better ones coming in

 

[VolForLife83]

WRs are still dropping passes.

It’s not all been on Milton.

Yea, thought WR would never be a concern under Heup. Hopefully someone steps up. Sampson doing Sampson, just need WR play to elevate.

 

[ashleyyy]

we need Bro back bad and hopefully Thornton pans out

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Mark my words, Nico is a QB. This offense will be rocking, maybe not today, but just like last year with Hooker, it's going to get better each game.

You can just tell the kid is special.

 

[AthensVol2007]

Probably trying to protect him from taking a big hit.

He’s the reason he’s taking hits today. Embarrassing that we haven’t developed anybody better than this, that we’re still playing a walk-on.

 

[Volnanza]

WRs are still dropping passes.

It’s not all been on Milton.

Yep. The drops are still there. Killing drives. Nico looks good. Green but good.

 

[MiramarVol]

Keyton has regressed this season.
