Happy for Nico!

[Woodlawn VOL]

Penn State is overrated, they got beat by a 0-4 team that had shown no pulse. GBO

 

[Other_Guy]

I watched the highlight reel and Nico played his butt off running and taking hits and had some special passes sprinkled in there. I think some of us would admit to thinking he'd have mailed it in but the dude gave everything he had and had one of the biggest upsets in decades.
A side note, I cant believe this was the Gary and Brad game. How they have fallen. It also sounded like a boring broadcast.

Damn right. I might be alone in not really being surprised by this outcome. Penn State never should have been ranked as high as they were in the bogus "preseason rankings", and reality hit hard today. Awesome game by Nico.

The comical thing would be if they actually kept Penn State in the top 25. I'd be shocked if they were out.

Exactly....They are pretenders every year and will be top 7 preseason next year. Their schedule next year is easier than this years...Laughable actually.

 

[NEO]

They won because PSU has no run defense and allowed Nico to run for a 100 himself.

If they DC had shut him down running they lose and lose big because his passes were low and behind all game.

He still sucks.

 

[HeavenUniversity]

ill never root for penn state over anyone

That is State Penn.

 

[sami]

Alabama?

Not even close.

Every week my two primary rooting interests are UT winning and Penn State losing. Everything else is case by case.

If it's a Big 18 schedule, it's pretty much automatically easy. A couple of tough games at most, a few FCS games, and a lot of joke conference games.

Nico wasn’t cocky on the sidelines. Very humble. Maybe he has matured.

Penn State is always overrated

Go Vol !!!!!!!

PSU and Notre Dame are the most overrated teams in the country.

PSU and Notre Dame are the most overrated teams in the country.

Notre Dame was 1-2 and still ranked in the top 25

 

[AirForceVol74]

Finally Nico did something to benefit the Vols, beat Penn State. GBO!

 

[DaddyChad]

Eh. They scored 42 but he only threw for 166. He just doesn't have "it" throwing the ball.

He ran for 128 and 3 tds.

 

[DaddyChad]

The PSU defense was very poor, not putting pressure on Nico, or spying him.

Can someone tell me why they didn’t spy him? He’s killing you on the ground and you do nothing to solve that.

 

[DaddyChad]

Why should we have to move on as fans? Ill never get over it just because we were fortunate enough to find Aguilar. Today was a win-win. Penn st lost which helps us out but im not for one moment happy for Nico.

When someone tries to screw you over and let’s face it that family did with the timing, it’s hard to wish for nice things for them.

Now I’m not going to set a timer where I can watch Nico fail or anything like that. Got tired of that after the first few weeks; a man can only watch so much UCLA football. I’m also not going to wish for the guy to have success on the football field. I hope he grows up and becomes a solid young man but I don’t give a damn to see him be successful on the football field.

 

[SquirrelOrange3]

He ran for 128 and 3 tds.

He absolutely trucked over defenders like he was Earl Campbell. This was a much better performance than even his destruction of Bama. It was awesome to see a VFL humiliate Pedo State in such fashion.

Nico has the tools to be a great QB on the field and his instant decision making should get better. I just don't think he is a leader that makes players around him better and want to play harder. He seems like a good kid who is a little aloof. I was pulling for him yesterday but I just don't think he will ever become a leader with the IT factor.

Nico a VFL???

Not a chance in Hades.

 

[Delmar]

And that says it all about how bad Penn State is and how badly they are coached. How in the world do you let a string bean like Nico truck you for 128 yards and not spy him? That should never happen.

 

[WillisWG]

Zero to do with Tennessee football

No idea. Should’ve put 8 in the box. He couldn’t complete a pass in the 2nd half at all.

 

[arkyvol]

I hope this game serves as a wake up for next weekend. Arkansas is less of an underdog than UCLA (and they’ve got a four game streak against the Vols).

 

[Blackburn]

I'm not sure why any UT fan still cares about or cheers for this guy. He quit on our team so there is zero reason to wish him well.

 

[volfeeva]

When I heard Nico's post game speech where he told his fellow players " if you don't want to be here--leave"... I must say I teared up.
