In partial defense of Bo Nix

And is it too controversial for me to say that, as of now, Hunter is our best running back and should be starter?

Uhh, yeah. They sold out to not let us get the run going. Tank or Hunter didn't have much room to operate.

Tank is still Tank.

My MVP is Lucas for Georgia State. Little bastard played his guts out.

This is the year. Bo Nix has improved so much under this new offense. He’s focused. He’s having fun. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a dark horse for the Heisman.

FIFY

This is the year. TJ has improved so much under this new offense. He’s focused. He’s having fun. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a dark horse for the Heisman

Offensive line was bad today. We had two backs averaging nearly 10 yards a carry going into this game. I doubt Georgia State is that much better than Penn State, part of that had to be focus.

Whatever changes we made at half on defense needs to happen going forward. Finally started getting pressure, guys weren’t running open all over the field. I know Zakoby made a difference, but it looks like we finally started blitzing and playing man. This defense has talent, we just need to scheme around them.

For all those still defending Bo. I get it. He is frustrating because there are obvious good plays between so many bad ones. I honestly thought he was our best chance to win heading into the 98 yard drive. But while Bo might be the more “talented” QB, Finley makes the big plays that Bo just simply can’t. Sure he missed some open throws too, and was far from perfect, but when we needed a play, he stayed calm, kept the play alive, and made something happen. Bo would not have finished that drive off. He might have got us the down the field, but he wasn’t making the play kn 4th down.

I don’t think we are as bad as we played today, but it sure as hell isn’t getting easier from here kn out.

Bobo was putrid as a play caller for 3+ quarters today and did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to help out his QB. And, because of this, Nix’s nerve broke step by step to the point that he returned to his natural Malzahn-basket-case self.

---

Nah man. I heard this same shite in 2019 and 2020. It was Gus the Moron causing Bo to suck arse.

Here we are again with shitty play by Bo Nix and blaming the play calling.

There’s so much we don’t see as armchair quarterbacks. I can’t tell you if Bobo’s play calling was truly bad in the sense that we didn’t have options open. Maybe the play call required the right timing with the right read and a good throw? Or a proper check down if the defense showed a particular look?

The only consistent problem is Bo Nix.

Also, Nix is a weapon running the ball. He should have at least 8 designed runs a game.

Even when he scrambles now, he looks scared to tuck it and run. I know they want him to keep his eyes up and look for guys clearing open. But at some point, he's got to make a decision.
