To say Finley came in and won the game despite Nix losing us the game is pretty dishonest.

Bo accounted for 12 points.
Finley accounted for 7 points.

Granted Finley was in FG range one time (mostly due to a penalty) and was in Scoring range again another time until Tank scored.

Yes Finley came in down the stretch and made plays he needed to but let’s not act like the offense was anymore productive with Finley rather than Nix because it wasn’t.


Auburn punted the ball away on 4 of the 8 total drives that Bo Nix was in at QB.

Auburn punted the ball away on 1 of 4 total drives that Finley was in at QB.

One of Bo Nix's FG drives came after a 72-yard kickoff return by Pritchett.

Right, the offense wasn't any more productive under Finley .

On the drive where Tank fumbled the ball away, Finley completed TWO 3rd downs with his arm that ended up extending the drive. You can go back and take a look at Bo Nix's drives: on those 4 punts, he had the pass attempt and failed to convert 3 times on 3rd down. The other lone failure was a 3rd and short run by Tank that went for a loss.

For those that don't understand football: the game is won by moving the chains and converting on key 3rd downs. A QB is judged by their ability to make plays on 3rd and 6, 3rd and 8, etc. Bo Nix did not make ANY of those plays.

Of Finley’s four drives

1 was a punt
1 was a missed FG (Finley accounted for 11 yards)
1 was a fumble (Finley accounted for 18 yards)
And the touchdown drive (good drive by Finley)

To say he was a success on 3 of 4 drives is again dishonest.
