First start at Tenn Nico accounted for 4 TDs, passed for 151 yards and was named MVP of the Citrus Bowl in a 35-0 win over Iowa
In 2024 Tenn went 10-3 as members of the SEC and appeared in the playoffs with Nico as their starter. He was 213 for 334 and 2616 yards with 19 TDs against 5 interceptions.
Nico was a warrior for UCLA last year under terrible conditions. Ty may turn out to be better, but he has not demonstrated anything like that yet.
I live in San Rafael and a lot of the things I am hearing about Ty are very reminiscent of the reasoning that had the 49ers taking Trey Lance in the First round.
Depending on the prognosis on his injury a lot of top teams in need of a QB will seriously look at going all in on Nico.
I understand my views counter the culture of the site and I post with trepidation. But I do so from the perspective of an 84 year old from a family of Bruin fans that goes back to Kenny Washington and Jackie Robinson, who regularly attended the games of the 3 great Bruin coaches Sanders, Prothro and Vermiel. I remember when we were the dominant or co dominant football program in Los Angeles and remember when decisions were made that what was needed to maintain that position was not consistent with a great academic University and would not continue. To return to that is going to take a lot more than locker room pep talks.
