The Official #8 Tennessee vs. Florida Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

They need to get him better passing looks, they had FL on their heels and tried twice to go over the top and Nico isn't confident throwing those. He's been way off on those throws.

If you are playing at this level you better be confident in throwing those balls

 

[johnboyhunter]

Heupel’s O has been figured out!

Well the receivers got wide open and were missed. That was 2 potential TDs right there.

 

[RollinVol]

DO WE NOT KNOW WHAT A SLANT ROUTE IS

Just our defense. Because we get killed by those all the time

 

[tomq_123]

wtf was that Nico

I feel this is a mental thing with Nico. We know he can hit those. He looks like he has the yips.

 

[gray0306]

Is UT going to score this half?

no

 

[jdogvol]

The money spent on Nico would have been better allocated towards other roster compliments. I'd much rather buy a great smaller power conference/"elite" mid-major QB than invest so heavily in an unknown high school product.

Agree!

 

[BJSforVols]

Nico isn’t ready. Come at me, sunshine pumpers.

Nico isn't it.

 

[tnmarktx]

Kid is rattled from getting beaten up the last few games. O line finally makes a few good blocks and he throws it way too soon.

Exactly.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

This ain’t worth 8 million dollars

I'll gladly miss the same throws for half the price

 

[JohnnyD123]

One has to wonder what Joey Halzle did with the QBs all off season?

Nothing at all

 

[posivol]

Nico looks like Milton

hey now joe could hit squirrel

 

[orangerush]

You all are pathetic fans.

That includes you.

 

[wmcovol]

How about a 3 and out defense!!!!

 

[johnboyhunter]

Hooker was dang good and would have hit those.

 

[Vol865]

Two bad throws. Totally on Nico that drive. His youth is definitely a problem. Line did better that drive just gotta hit

He picked up a 1st on a read option and they gave up a TFL the next play and then minimal gains the next play that set up a 3rd and long vs cover 0. They absolutely didn't do better

 

[Dudleys87]

I Banks hell for a long time and to think it was me the whole time.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Nico is going to have to start keeping it in the run game more for us to have a shot tonight

 

[VolGirl81]

Keep throwing deep, he's gotta hit one sooner or later

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

Guys without Milton getting hurt,we would have never seen Hooker. Don't get your hopes up about a backup. It's not what coach does.

 

[fossilfiction]

Please give him some 5-10 yard throws with quick drops or roll outs.

 

[rocketskates]

Why didn’t I go with my brain and throw 100 on Florida + the points

 

[VOLinAL]

Gaston has been in this offense for 5 years…put him in. We have to win games, not appease to rich student athletes.

 

[Vol8188]

You all are pathetic fans.

If they were Bama fans, I imagine they would’ve offed themselves already. They act like they’ve never seen a team start slow

 

[Other_Guy]

If squirrel would have caught his he would have fell down instantly like always

I was told that was Milton's fault

 

[tntornadox]

Nico is very off. Put Moore in and see if he can provide a spark, putting in the backup works for every other team we play.
