Anyone watching Nico tonight?

[HypeVol2020]

11/22 for 136 yds. 1 TD, 1 INT. Really appreciate UCLA for trading QBs with us

Not one camera has been on big nick that I have noticed.

I have mixed feelings on him doing well, part of me wants him to but another part doesn't. And that part is because of how he critized UT.

It’s good that he sees his small taste of success came from the guy that wanted him 1st. It’s also a learning moment to grow up and stand on your own 2 feet and not have daddy lead you around by the pony tail

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Do we see Madden take some snaps LOL

Has anyone seen what their home opener attendance is?

Feel like we dodged a bullet here.

That's maybe the most shocking part. You would've thought the Nico addition would've had a bigger attendance draw. I mean that place was at least 60% empty.

 

[HypeVol2020]

I think Nico forgot you need an OL, WRs and a defense to be successful lmao

Went from hero to zero over a few dollars

I think ucla will have a large roster of new mexico players next year. Just saying. Maybe a starting qb too!

 

[BlueTick Vol]

Oof.

Money and family aside, I would personally prefer to play for a passionate fan base.

I'm not seeing anyone of fire or passion from the UCLA head coach. The whole team looks flat.

But it's possible a stadium 1/3 full will do that.

Unfortunately UCLA's QB doesn't look any different than he did at any point last year.

Can make the most prolific pass, but somehow manages to throw and interception on a 3yd crossing pattern.

As a fan I called him gritty. But upon further review his inability to read a defense often results in him trying to run the ball. And unfortunately for him having the frame of a National Champion Volleyball server he often folds on first contact.

 

[MajinBooCarter]

I watched, couple of good throws, afew good runs but looked essentially like last year ugly int and plenty of overthrows

 

[dobre_shunka]

Stats for the night

11 of 22 for 136 yards with 1 TD and 1 pick. Sacked 4 times.

 

[HypeVol2020]

Honestly a miracle we made the playoffs last year.

Drive killer

 

[BlueTick Vol]

I think they are ready for this game to be over

Saw that.

Maybe they were protecting him?

Yep. Noticed they left the Klubniks alone too.

 

[cgrish]

it would’ve been a tight game or an Arky type loss if Nico was still our qb.I

I really think we would have got beat today with Nico

 

[tim]

Honestly a miracle we made the playoffs last year.

We were probably held back by this albatross due to the NIL and overblown hype

 

[JohnnyJava]

I was scanning X to see what people are saying about the game and I saw estimated attendance around 35,000.

Yikes! Probably 10,000 of those are Utes. Horrible apathetic sports culture.

 

[Volanta]

My guess is “too many people watching him fail”.

Making excuses has been the only way to watch Nico play. It’s either that or turn the game off.

Interesting. And sad.

 

[adam.vol]

BVS: We got everything we asked for today. What’s the catch?

 

[TheVolsFrog]

TN won twice Saturday. Won our game convincingly and UCLA lost their convincingly.

 

[MajinBooCarter]

TN won twice Saturday. Won our game convincingly and UCLA lost their convincingly.

And alabama lost in embarassing fashion

 

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

Is this the worst loss(by margin) at home ever for UCLA?

No but this is really bad. I bet they haven’t lost many, if any, home openers against an unranked team by this much.

 

[HeavenUniversity]

UCLA may go 0-12. This game reminds me of all of Tennessee first halfs last season........

I could see 4-8. MAYBE.
