The B12 is adding four teams to the league this year. Thatās why the delay on the schedule.Holy crap Batman. I just spend 15 minutes searching for the Texas Longhorns football schedule for this Fall. It is nowhere to be found and finally, I saw that their cupcake league said they will not have the schedules out till the end of January. I wanted to see what kind of teams Archie will be playing other than the always tough... Kansas Jayhawks, Iowa State Cyclones, Red Raiders of Texas Tech and well, need I go on????
Just one more example of ESPN's prejudice against TN. They have Nico as the #23 player overall and the #4 QB in the 2023 class. If he had gone anywhere but UT they would say he is an automatic Heisman winner. Somehow there are still people on here that deny ESPN takes every opportunity to dis the Vols or our players. SMH You don't have to kick me in the nuts for me to see you don't like me. JMHO
Look, he and Joe Milton are both top-edge competitors. They BOTH want to win the starting job, every single year they play, at every level.How confident are we that Nico will be OK redshirting this year behind Milton? My guess is most #1 recruits don't tolerate sitting out a year and nowadays they have a lot of leverage
Arch will be a solid QB. Another Peyton or Eli? Who knows.
If he had shifted to Bama, I suspect he might have kept that #1 ranking....

Nico's coming in hoping he can win the job. He's bright, so he knows it is a huge uphill battle. He has to learn the offense, and not just in his head...in his nerve endings. It has to be automatic, thought-free. That takes...time.
He also knows that he needs to put on some weight, some muscle. Conditioning tatkes...time.
So he's smart. He knows his chances of winning the job this spring and summer is very slight. Maybe a bit better as the season goes on.
But he's also a team player, a good teammate. More than anything, at this point, he wants to be ready to carry the team if Joe Milton gets hurt. That's job #1 for Nico.
He's okay with the reality of his situation, because he's intelligent. Nonetheless, none of this is totally off the table. Because he's a competitor.
I think you said that wrong. The question Sea Ray asked, about whether Nico would be okay redshirting, seems irrelevant at this point. My response to him, though, is entirely based on current circumstances. And so remains relevant.All of what you just saidwas relevant 2 weeks ago.
Now it's unnecessary. He's by default number 2 at the very least since Jackson left.
The back up QB never redshirts in this offense. There's always blowout games for them to develop or the starter gets dinged up.
Zero chance of redshirting for Nico, now.
Nico will be amazingYep...so now our Nico is no1 in the ON3 rankings, and ranked no1 or no2 overall at ANY position in every major ranking service besides ESPN. Big BOOOOM!!
Tennessee Vols just dunked on the rest of college football
Since 2016, there have been around 240 5* commitments.How confident are we that Nico will be OK redshirting this year behind Milton? My guess is most #1 recruits don't tolerate sitting out a year and nowadays they have a lot of leverage
