Heck, you’re a Bulldog, when he faced y’all, he looked like “Old Bo Nix”.

When he faced us, he was an outstanding QB with no help and no coaching. And auburn fans, like yourself, that blamed the best player on the team when he was the only thing keeping you remotely competitive.

Nix was the only thing that worried me about Auburn when he was on your team. We were good enough to scheme him right out of the offense, because Auburn had nothing else.

So it wasn't "Old Bo Nix". It was the "Same Old Auburn" that - for the first time since Newton - had an elite QB and didn't know what to do with him.

I’m talking about when he was the QB at Oregon. He played awful that game. Should have thrown 3 INT if a few weren’t dropped.


We will see how much he’s improved if he gets to square off against a SEC team again, or even Ohio St. esq.

I think you can eabod and choke but I’m glad he’s doing well. I said he made the best and most correct choice for his future.

I melted for a solid few months straight and attacked all the stupid arse TJ Finley/ anti-Bo fans on a daily basis when we lost Bo Nix

I am not ashamed to admit it at all.

Couple of points:

1. Many QBs do well once they transfer. Does Justin Fields give you warm fuzzies? Burrow? Etc

2. Bo has been on the field more than most all other QBs in ncaa history. He has essentially started 5 years. He's grown up and worked on fundamentals - he has earned his success but he got 5 years when most get 4.

3. Haskins

No. Good for Bo. We could have Prime Tom Brady and still only have one less win than LSU.

His fundamentals in Auburn were not the problem. Auburn was the problem, so Nix did not have to change anything.

He gets more time to throw and has better receivers.

His time at Oregon playing Washington, Utah, etc is easier on him than playing against Georgia State with Auburn


Auburn vs Cal this year (14-10, 43.5 QBR) is your typical Auburn trash passing system the past 10 years.

Meanwhile Oregon nearly put 65 on them last week.

The Nix’s shouldnt have picked AU in the first place. Gus was on his way out and AU had zero talent on the o-line.

I hope he makes an NFL roster and gets paid.

I'm glad he found a place to thrive. Just like Hurts going to Oklahoma. Bo got caught up in a bad time at AU. Don't forget Malik Willis left AU for Liberty.

He would be the same old average player in the SEC.

He went against Georgia at Oregon last year and lost 49-3.

Don’t let it fool you by him playing the terrible defenses in the PAC-12.

It wasn't Nix. Auburn has been in disarray for a while now and he just happened to be there at the wrong time. He was always a great player.

I don’t know of a single AU fan that is mad at Bo. He knew what a disaster Harsin was before any of us. It probably sped up the process in firing of Harsin and us hiring a much better coach

I tend to agree with this. He doesn’t face the DL in the PAC 12 like he did in the SEC

It all worked out. Hugh got to bring in his guy Thorne. So, happy ending all around.

I can pull up the Georgia- Oregon game and show you many that danced on Bo's grave.

Wanna try again?

Bo masked a lot of deficiencies that we are showing right now, I'm glad Harsin ran him off because it ultimately helpe us get rid of that tumor.

Malzahn had quit recruiting o-linemen and recruited terrible receivers. Harsin came in and recruited almost no one of value.
