He's lethal if/when he gets out of the pocket. They've been on him the past couple of years to trust his arm, but he's excellent on the ground (except fumbling vs. Clemson).

Smart kid. Wish more young QBs would realize the value of doing this. Too many get themselves in trouble trying to do too much and take bad sacks or throw bad picks.

You are a guy who likes talking football.
Why are you on the rant?
This thread is not much on the “EABOD” “STTDB”, personal insult front.
Give it time. The trolls will arrive shortly.
In the meantime, do you think y’all will blitz the A gaps hard after we make a first down since Gus loves hurry up inside zone call in that scenario?

We gotta take advantage of the lull in their vigilance against actual football talk

I'd bet my bottom dollar on Elko doing just that, if that's y'all's bread and butter. Again, though, he'd better not fall in love with it. If we don't get home, a fake handoff plus a quick slant will have us in a world of hurt. Nix is plenty competent enough for that from what little I've seen.

quick slant
Under Malzahn, quick slants are like rare, endangered species.
Route tree is bubble, stick, 9. No digs or slants for some reason.
I thought QB would throw ball toward where the blitzer vacated in many situations, but Gus is different.
I guess he could be setting you guys up, but the next slant, will be the first slant of the season.

That's so weird--has he always been like that?
Honestly I'm surprised more coaches don't make it their bread and butter tbh. It can almost be used as an extension of the run game. Some well-timed quick slants going for 4-6 yards a pop can work wonders against a defense that's playing aggressively.

Yep. We do not use the middle of the field at all unless it is a random deep go/post route off of a trick play.
Early on in his career, it worked because some many teams were falling for the reverse PA and such. If you go back and watch our games, watch some of the more obvious passing downs and watch how many times defenses completely empty out the middle of the field and only really guard outside the hash marks. We don't even send a TE/h-back to do a 7 yard sit down route in the middle of the field as a dump off. It is just vacant.

Yep. That or a good rub crossing pattern are nightmares for defenses to guard. Man to man they are almost impossible to stop on a consistent basis, which makes you have to go to zone where modern day QB's and a smart route tree (which we don't have) can pick apart.

Well good news is we aren't capable of that so maybe it plays to our advantage this week.

We did it a good bit against Kent and some against Tulane. Ends got too far upfield and gave the QB a lane to scramble.

We seem to be pretty evenly matched. I’m worried that the location could be the deciding factor. Hard to say who’s better this early, but I’m excited for sec play

Well in that case the fact that it's at Kyle Field should be a comfort for y'all
Our school record against top 10 visitors is pretty dreadful, especially since joining the SEC. Plus we've never beaten y'all at home.

Ah ok, that makes some sense. Just weird that he'd abandon it almost altogether even as the game's evolved.

Precisely.

It is why many Auburn fans are so frustrated with him. He refuses to evolve our passing game. When the running game is gashing people, it is able to work because people bite on the play action. However, when the running game is not working, the pass plays are all so long to develop that they aren't too hard to stop.

I know what you’re doing. Don’t bring that reverse jinx shite here ;)

Yeah and that's no bueno against a front capable of generating reliable pressure.
Which they probably can if they've stymied the run game

This game will say a lot more about this team than Oregon did.
I have to secretly hope that Gus knows how important this is and has been saving up for this game.
I can at least dream about that until Saturday.
How is the young running back y'all have at blocking?

I for one agree with this assessment. I still think our secondary has no idea where the ball or qb is most of the time. They can run with receivers but never play the ball. Our LB are fast but young and undersized. They are good in space but what about a team that runs it down your throat? And I still can’t figure out the d line.. I know we have one sure first rounder, Brown, a probable first rounder, Coe, and a possible first rounder, Davidson, but for some reason the d line last year and this have been good to really good, but are they really great? There hasn’t been a consistent pass rush for two years and they are good against the run but it’s hard to say they have been great. Maybe that’s a LB problem more than a DL problem but something is missing.
Downvote all you want, but it’s not like we lose 4ish games a year without reasons
