Yeah, unfortunately, while i was at the game, I saw at least 2 pass plays where the OT had kept his man in check, but for some reason Bo was thinking the defender was crashing in too far, so he would circle to his right around him, worried about getting sacked. And ofc the play didn't go anywhere.
He needs to move a little more in the pocket, and bide some time to find an open WR, so hopefully he will see the tape and learn from it.

The ranking of all QBs according to a PFF writer:

96. BO NIX, AUBURN
The PFF grades have not been kind to Nix on a consistent basis as he's self-inflicted a lot of damage this year. His offensive line has been stout yet he's left the pocket and ran into pressure on his own accord to the tune of 20 total pressures including five sacks that we've credited to him. He struggles mightily under pressure in such instances, seeing the country's 116th-ranked passer rating when the defense gets home with pressure and sits just at 100th in passer rating from a clean pocket showing his inconsistency week in and week out. He does have stout athleticism but if the Tigers want to win those close games in the future, they'll have to get much better quarterback play.

It's frustrating, because he is very good when he looks comfortable in the pocket and steps into throws. The Athletic did a piece after the LSU game comparing his numbers in the pocket vs out of the pocket and it's a larger than normal difference. Yet, his natural inclination is to bail.
It's clear to me he is getting better though. But I still don't think he can ever be great in the offense.
