For some reason I have in my head that Nix is more likely to lead to a vanilla/safe offense, but I have no real reason to think that's true.
Same here. Probably going to see the same Stidham type offense if Nix is the guy. But Stidham missed a lot of wide open receivers that hopefully Nix won’t.

Based on the first scrimmage, it sounds like Nix is more likely to take some chances than Gatewood is hence the 2-3 INTs and 2 TDs.
I was really hoping for more of a zone-read or a power read running game. Our offense is so much more dangerous when we play this style of football. Don't know if Nix has this kind of athleticism.

I think we’re all under estimating Nix’s running ability. He is a dual threat QB

Yep, and that’s scary cause Stidham’s turnovers were killers.

Exactly. Still hoping that Malzahn finally realizes what his strengths are and turns the reins over to Gatewood.

What if nix can run the read option better than Joey can throw?

Which probably means if Nix is the guy we go with.. Malzahn's play calling will likely be ultra ultra conservative.

Good question and that answer might explain why Nix is pulling ahead.

Who knows at this point? I just want whoever is going to win the most football games. Idk as much about Nix, but I know Joey can make people look foolish in the open field when he runs.

Nah, he’s white. Everyone knows white QBs are all pocket passers. Real film junkies. Bring your lunch pail to work kind of guys.

I mean we all know Nix is the literal coach's son, filmroom junkie, motor-doesn't-stop kind of guy
I don't doubt Nix is better than Stidham at running the ball...but wasn't JS categorized as dual threat and didn't we discuss at length how he was that prototypical "accurate passer with mobility" who is the "perfect QB for what Gus wants to do"?

Monday practice notes from AL.com
quote:
-- As for the quarterback competition, freshman Bo Nix took the first reps during nearly all of the drills that the media was able to watch, including an abbreviated pace period. Nix appeared to be the more accurate of the passers on Monday, as well.
Auburn offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham worked extensively with the quarterbacks during the 40-minute window, including accuracy (trying to hit targets from various distances and angles), footwork and handoff drills. Toward the end of practice, the quarterbacks were throwing to running backs and H-backs on various routes out of the backfield.
-- The first-team offense during the pace period saw Nix at quarterback, along with Harold Joiner at running back, Spencer Nigh at H-back, and Sal Cannella, Marquis McClain and Matthew Hill at the receiver spots. The offensive line, from left to right, was Prince Tega Wanogho, Marquel Harrell, Kaleb Kim, Mike Horton and Jack Driscoll.
-- The second-team offense saw Joey Gatewood at quarterback, with D.J. Williams at running back, John Samuel Shenker at H-back, and then Seth Williams, James Owens Moss and Tyler Fromm rounding out the receiving corps. The offensive line, from left to right, was Alec Jackson, Tashawn Manning, Nick Brahms, Jalil Irvin and Brodarious Hamm.

If he can run and pass like Tate Martell then I am all for Nix.

The first-team defense during the pace period had T.D. Moultry at Buck, Derrick Brown and Tyrone Truesdell at the tackle spots, and Marlon Davidson at defensive end. Chandler Wooten and Owen Pappoe were at linebacker, while the secondary had Javaris Davis and Noah Igbinoghene at cornerback, Christian Tutt at nickelback, and Jeremiah Dinson and Daniel Thomas at safety.
-- The second-team defense was a hodgepodge of walk-ons and rotational players. The defensive line consisted of Nick Coe, Big Kat Bryant, Peyton Nance and Gary Walker, while Zakoby McClain and Josh Marsh were at linebacker. Roger McCreary and Devin Guice lined up at corner, with Malcolm Askew at nickle, and Jamien Sherwood and Zion Puckett at safety.
-- Special teams notes: Anders Carlson connected on field goals of 38 and 49 yards during an early portion of practice. Christian Tutt, Matthew Hill and Javaris Davis all received punt return reps.

Not sure but Shivers and Kam Martin are also not listed. Guessing they weren’t part of the drill because they wanted to see the other backs. Josh Vitale said readers shouldn’t read into those three not being out there at that time for the drill
