Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[PlanetVolunteer]

The ramifications from yesterday could be as fruitful as anything we have seen the last 10 years. You take a redshirt freshman qb that looked as bad as he did last night and win 10games and make the playoffs. It just tells you the job Hype did with that team last year. If this season continues how yesterday did that should be the narrative

Heup is great at adapting with what he's got

 

[Glitch]

I hope Big Nic has been investing all that NIL money wisely, because the chances of Nico getting drafted just went in the crapper IMO.

 

[Rishvol]

No understand you englich

Remind me to stop using autocorrect

Whoa! Listening to Sunday Sports Sound Off and forgot that Jimmy Hyams retired.

It’s Josh Ward, Ollie Lane, and Todd Kelly Jr.

Gonna miss Tim Irwin.

Ollie’s doing radio now? That’s freaking cool. I always liked that kid.

What a great day yesterday was! Picture perfect.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Great first weekend of football!

- We win
- Arch sucks. Nico played better against a much better OSU team.
- Jerry Jones trades his best defensive player to get Arch.

Wishes do come true

Adding this to the list.

- Nico sucks and lost. Hahahahahaha

I don't know how much this was discussed, but it felt like MORE people fell down to stop us yesterday than previously. You can still get away with it if the ball isn't set?

Stupid rule does 0 to stop the problem. 1st real firing of the year should be whichever clown rule-makers came up with that rule, when every single football fan in America was in agreement about how to fairly stop it. . . but they went with something completely useless.

 

[25vol]

And it stood out loudly throughout the game! One team, one heartbeat!!

Man these guys must have hated Nico lmao

 

[All_Vol87]

UCLA….. woof. Think I’ll put $100 on UNLV next weekend

 

[tyonthefly93]

I can’t wait for all the talking heads to eat crow. Nico was hot garbage.
Arch was meh.
Bama is soft as charmin.
Clemson’s offense was average.
All the Vols did was beat a P4 team by 3 scores.

 

[VolGee4]

I didn’t watch the game, but let’s remind ourselves that our coach went 10-2 in the regular season with that UCLA QB. I think you saw yesterday why certain plays were called last year.

Son looks like he sitting in the hallway with a juice box while the parents meet with coaches to complain about juniors “role” on team

 

[Orange.]

LFG!

 

[Glitch]

Can't believe he was stupid enough to cheat to the point of risking his buyout. Absolute clown.

And he still sucked and couldn't win games.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Agreed

All last year I bounced back and forth in my head as to whether Nico was really just another version of DJ Uiagalelei - it looks more and more like he is

Aguilar fits our scheme better

Aguilar is better than Nico on experience alone. . . he's better in just about every area, except maybe running and he didn't look bad at that either. That was one of the prettiest deep balls to Staley you'll find anywhere. . . let's not overlook Staley making the catch, somewhat contested too.

I liked that Mike Matthews was getting involved in the 1st half, but why did he disappear in the 2nd. That's part of the reason it felt like Heupel took his foot off the gas.

Protocol to run like you’ve been compromised

 

[KnoxLandcruiser]

Yesterday was the best start to a college football season I can remember in a long time. Capped off by Dabo eating one at home and watching Nico play behind what appeared to be a high school offensive line. Twas glorious!

[Orange.]

F Syracuse F Bama F Dabo F Nico

 

[Garren04]

Imagine if we let UTSA score 24. This place would burn down

 

[Glitch]

I hope Cuse steamrolls the ACC this year and we whoop their backside again in the playoffs.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Just maybe Nico left because coaches were just trying to get more out of his talent than his group thought he could handle. Either way he did us a Great favor leaving because we up graded by a lot. Aguilar has a lot more insight than Nico ever will. GBO . And thanks Nico for getting out of our way to the playoffs. I'm betting coaches didn't try that hard to keep him.

I am not convinced that Heupel didn't get halfway through spring practice and pull the plug on Nico.

 

[UpstateVol613]

You think he knows he is playing JV teams the next 3 months?
