Bowl Game

Jaylen Wright to the draft.

 

Not with that attitude.

 

This post is wildly shortsighted, and at the very least proves to me you’ve never been a part of a team. Or at least a team worth a damn.

 

he will get more practice reps with the 1s and I expect him in the game for a series or 2 in the 2nd quarter, assuming we have more than 3 plays in the first quarter.

 

Yeah, I think there are ways to work Nico into the bowl game without fully benching Joe and putting him in street clothes. Doesn't have to be all or nothing, but I feel like there's a high chance we don't see Nico at all, unless there's garbage time.

 

I honestly expect Tennessee to be up 3 or 4 scores in the 3rd quarter, Sampson and Seldon are just as capable of big plays as Wright was and Iowa is slow

 

Good for him

 

There's a chance Iowa looks foolish.

 

As long as our OL doesn't shit the bed, our RBs should be licking their chops going up against Iowa.

 

They play a lot of zone and we likely run a a lot of wr screens. Doubt they’ve had teams spread them out and do anything besides off tackle runs, curls and in routes against their zone.

 

Cooper Mays coming back next year

 

I hope y’all are right but I’m fully prepared for a root canal

 

Over under is 36.5

considering some of the others they’ve had that’s a huge compliment to our offense.

 

Look at their schedule. Penn st and Michigan best offenses they faced and they lost by a combined 60-0. I watched Penn St a bit and wasn’t impressed with their qb. Michigan ran about 3 different plays against them.
If we had their schedule, Banks would be up for DC of the year.

 

Or an indictment of our defense.

 

That's absolutely what should happen. You've got a great core of guys who've all just decided to return and you've got young guys on both sides who are finally going to get their chance. This game should be a Roman holiday.

 

We should have 30 of that

 

So you are saying that playing Joe in the bowl game benefits the team more than getting Nico experience that will help the team next year? Yeah that uhhh doesn’t make sense

 

Not sure where the benching came in. That’s quite the assumption. But you could encourage him to spend his time working on something or with someone that or who could prep him for some kind of impressive workout for the pros. And I actually believe the coaches preferred he play the bowl. And I disagree

 

Encourage him? He is going back to his home town to play in front of his family and friends in a New Years Day Bowl game leading the Tennessee Volunteers against the Big 10 Runner up.

This is a Dream come true; a childhood fantasy. He is starting and no amount of "encouragement" not to play would succeed.
