Pretty ballsy (or foolish) to name a true freshman starting QB.


Clemson did somewhat ok with one last year

I seriously doubt Bo Nix is a Trevor Lawrence.

I love the Clemson references. Wasn’t Lawrence like a damn near perfect prospect on the best team in the country?

Yeah, they were really high on his athleticism and leadership. And his Auburn pedigree.

There's a lot to be said for a QB who already bleeds orange and blue

I think Fromm is a better comparison - but Bo was higher rated and has way more mobility. Fromm is a fricking gamer, though. Remains to be seen what Bo can do when shite is hitting the fan.

You didn't have ONE QB, who's been on campus longer and knows the offense better, that could beat out a freshman?

The thread really answers your question no?

Oregon’s OL is the best unit on the team. However, the defense should be ahead of offenses at this point.

Nix is the real deal. He's a guy who could have Auburn in Atlanta a time or two, depending on what Gus can put around him.

Auburn fans wanting to see Gatewood start are clueless.

No, but the point is that a 5* true freshman can be very good, especially one who the critics had already named as the starter.

7-5 at very best but I'd go with 6-6 if I was putting money on it.



You are right, starting a True Freshman 5 star QB will get you nowhere.
