Nico has all the tools. Potential is just unreal in that kid.

 

[Baulder]

Heup looked like he was laughing at him falling down on that run

Everyone laughs when the baby giraffe falls all over themselves. Very reminiscent of Fulky's first year.

 

[jpope9]

If they just keep running the normal offense (like they should), we might see 80.

I’ll take another pick 6

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I have high standards buddy.

There db graduated from the Hadden school of tackling

It looked like that boost teammates give each other in the speed skating relay in the Olympics.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Nico is a stud. Both passes missed were drops. Glad we’re in good hands at QB.

Especially since Milton looks like a QB these last few weeks. Hope he balls out the rest of the year and gets drafted high to lead to Nico balling next year.

 

[VolNash17]

Nicos passing woof

Almost like he had thrown 5 passes all season up until this game…

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Nico is a very fluid runner, that lateral quickness & balance is hard to teach man. All those years of Volleyball.

Throwing a bit high since he was amped up, but that TD pass was perfect & right on the money!

 

[Christian Lowe]

Any of the people saying USC, etc contacting Nico still worried? Looked like a family congratulating their son on his first little league homerun out there lol

 

[VolNash17]

Nico’s first TD. So wonderful

 

[Gus D's kernbred]

A great start for Nico

I thought he pulled a quad. I don't think he tripped, I think half his brain wanted to make that safety miss and the other half wanted to slide lol.

If the O-line can be shored up for next season and the team doesn't suffer any debilitating injuries, then they'll be capable of winning every game.

Nico has it!

 

[Vol423]

I expected more.

Unfortunately, the rules limit us to only one touchdown per drive. You'll have to learn to live with disappointment.

 

[UTgrad2015]

Stupid asses expect every single play and pass to be perfect. Same people never ever played a meaningful snap of football in their life.

Atta boy Nico. Congrats young fella

 

[gainesvol82]

It’s criminal that Nico hasn’t gotten more playing time

No TF it's not. Nico was not ready to play in the SEC this year and Joe has mostly played well and has been very good the last few weeks when healthy. Nico has gotten in when we have been able to but UTM got to mug us all game so that opportunity was lost.

Nico will get better progression reps in bowl, spring and fall practices against our D than he will against cupcakes. This UCONN game will be plenty of good game reps for this year.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

@drylo time stamped for a much needed GIF

 

[GoBigOrange86]

A live ball foul from our opponent on offense!!!

 

[nashvol1]

What? I didn’t realize that or holding was still a penalty

 

[Enki_Amenra]

The over has already cashed!

 

[daugag02]

Meanwhile, in Columbia

 

[MarcoVol]

and that's why Dee's William is not on offense

Hold up so Heupel knows what is best for the offense??

 

[mykidturnedmeintoaVOL]

So excited that I got to see Nico’s first touchdown in person!! Great future ahead!

 

[knoxvol52]

I’ll take another pick 6

......

 

[Ten_Titans]

Damn. You know we are winning when #2 isn't in on defense.
