Milton doesnt make any plays that a freshman couldn’t make, that’s why I’ve been wanting him benched lol, Nico and Gaston Moore couldve ran the offense we ran yesterday

I think I agree with the last part. It was not innovative or encouraging. I realize that is a big part of Heup's philosophy, but even I could see that we are incredibly limited.

Defend it.

The record of our opponent's is a combined 31 and 35. Our best win record wise is an 8-3 UTSA.

We were non competitive against FL, AL, and GA. We upset no one. We lost two games we were favored in, both of them badly. If I were forced to bet I would take that year one Heupel Team over this team.

We beat 3 teams with a losing record with a combined record of 10-23
The teams we beat with a winning record have a combined record of 21-12 that includes the 8 win UTSA

It's a lesson learned, to be certain. But in year three after inheriting a depleted roster? Going with experience was likely a necessity. Clearly this fanbase (most) know and care a lot about football, but we don't do it professionally and we aren't in the practices (maybe some insiders are). Coaches who are paid to make these evals played the guys they felt they needed to play. It's possible some of these kids just don't get it yet. Aren't big enough yet. Haven't figured it out. And that includes Nico. I don't think any of us truly know. The kid had one nice drive against Uconn, but where is the evidence he was better than Joe....right now? Will he be? I sure hope so. But 7 on 7's can only tell you so much. Joe was much better suited physically to absorb the punishment of the SEC with a mediocre O-line and WRs. I'll fully admit I fantasized about a Tua moment many times during the season, hoping we would see Nico come in and generate a spark. Didn't happen. I don't think any of us know Qbs better than Josh. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't heard any whispers from the inside that Nico was dominating in practice or scrimmages like some heard about Tua his freshman year. LA references plan B, C etc. I'll bet Nico was one of those and he just wasn't ready.
Loyalty? Maybe. Practicality? That's my guess.

Yeah, I’m pleased with the job Huepel has done., and it’s impossible to know too much about roster/locker room management from the inside. Just hope this is a one time thing out of necessity this year, and not a pattern of behavior or philosophy going forward.

There isn't a bigger a-hole who has ever put on the power T. I say this not from simple observation but from personal experience and easily verified personal experiences of others who have had extensive interaction with him. There's a reason that he never did a single thing of significance at the next level. He isn't a leader, never was, and he completely wasted the obvious physical talent that he possesses.

I was out on Bray when he organized the tank to Ky or Andy? Can’t remember which one, because they didn’t want to play in a bowl game. That’s not a VFL in my book.

Joe Milton should have:

Switched to Tight End in 2021 like I said.

-or-

Let Frank Anderson teach him to throw a slider.

You have seen him run, excuse me, attempt to run. And you think he could make it as a TE?!?! His running awareness and change of direction would be rated as a 40 on EA Sports.
