This may be an unpopular opinion but I don't want him to come back. Our lack of speed and athleticism in the back 7 has been a big issue in our last 2 playoff games. Turner was getting burned all night in the Sugar Bowl. We need to move on to our younger but move athletic players on our roster.

Gotta disagree with you. While there are other Safeties on the Roster with more pure/raw athletic ability, Nolan truly is a QB of the secondary. Overall, he played very well this year. Charleston and Zander’s were woefully inconsistent! Poor Charleston got Double moved for TD’s multiple times this year. In the Sugar Bowl, on at least one occasion, Nolan rolled over to try and cover for the mistakes of the CB and other Safety!

I agree with you, we suffered back there this year, and actually the last year, I hear he wants to coach so I say let him start there as a Grad Assistant. Good kid, good story, he has been part of our team and family, and hope for the best for him. I worry we will have people transfer if they cant get on the field. Ponder if Travis had left, is it possible our run game may have actually been better? Maybe teams don't over commit to the run and we are a more balanced team..we will never know.

N. Turner DID NOT PLAY in Sugar Bowl on 1/1/21. He had been suspended for targeting in ACC CG. I recall OSU had 35 at the half, when NT had not played. Are you blaming him for those 5 TDs?

He played in the second half. Also, am i blaming him for the 5 tochdowns? No, but to act like he would have made a differnce is delusional. He was bad in the second half. Turner lacks the elite athletcism and speed to play with the 5 star recievers that we're going to play against in the playoffs. He also struggles to make open-field tackeles. I like Turner, but it's time for the new guys.
I don't want guys like R.J Mickens to transfer because of Turner.

knows what he's doing back there. Everyone else seemed to be clueless. Charleston and Zanders were always frozen and trailing. so was DK at CB. He was getting burned over and over. It was atrocious game by all involved. At a certain point Fields was just throwing it up b/c he knew we wouldn't be there anyway. And he was right.

17 Better to keep your mouth shut and let people maybe think you are football dumb, than to open it and prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are.
