Dont really know what you are trying to say...

Oregon wasn't quite a true away game since neither team was at home.

His first "true" road game was game 4. At aTm. There is no way to twist this.

But I see Auburn people all the time saying that UF was his first true road game...and in no way shape or form is that an accurate statement.

Nix didn’t play terribly in that game. We just didn’t ask much of him. There’s a big difference

I think Nix is a good talent I just worry about him in this offense. He was nothing more than a game manager this year and I feel like if that remains the case he won't hit his potential. I think he only threw > 250 twice the whole year, against State and Ole Miss.

I agree, and that’s basically what Stidham was as well. The only game I felt Stidham was beyond a game manager was the 2017 iron bowl. He was a huge reason we won that game.

That's right. I TOTALLY forgot that 12 of 20 for 100 yards and a single TD isnt considered playing terribly if it's a superstar legacy QB we are talking about. Funny people still complain about Stidham putting up stats like that... but since its Nix... na... he didnt play bad we just didnt ask much of him.

I forgot about the hypocrisy if it's one of our own we are talking about...

Tipping play by personnel must stop.

Joiner in game is a pass to him 80% of time.

I hope Tank is legit because we need a homer in threat in the run game to make tis offense go.

Playing at the swamp n that atmosphere was different than A&M. With game day their, it was lit from early.

That was a game we wn on paper but our team wasn’t ready for that atmosphere, including our D. We got trucked.

A&M was a true road game, still. And the first.

Shhhh. People here think you can train accuracy into a lifelong player.

There are tons of examples of "lifelong players" making marked growth in accuracy.

He was 63% in 2017 and 78% in 2016.

He has always been a 70% passer. How many last year were drops, under pressure, or throw aways? How many were just shitty uncatchable balls?

Nix can't even stand still and hit stationary targets at 70%

On 11 passes.

On 28 passes. Likely throwing against air. Great sample size.

50% of the time he throws for 70% all the time.

I can’t tell if you’re talking about Bo or Burrow here.

Agreed, except for when he did it twice in conference games.

so why you trying?

For a 1st time out of the gate, starting true-freshman, to be paying on a any field other than the only one he's even practiced on (as a college player) makes it an away game.

But go on a with building your case - the one I was actually supporting.
