re: Jim, do you still think Bo Nix is better than Fromm & that UT is a contender in the East?

Auburn is in for a rough season. The offense sucks, and their supposedly great defensive line wasn't.
They’re defense is good, they have a good running game, and that was a true freshmen qb playing his first game. They’re going to be tough as hell by the end of the season

He looked like a freshman. He was clutch that last drive, no doubt, but Oregon's defense was completely gassed by the end of the third quarter. They are a talented team but have absolutely zero depth behind their starting defensive players. Auburn won because they had depth.

Fromm loves and knows the game with a good arm. And is in his junior year. Nix loves and knows the game with a good arm with better legs and has shown a knack for turning bad plays into good ones. And was a freshman last evening as was M Fromm with a better cast blocking for him once upon a time. Fromm is playing behind an NFL line. And is NFL ready himself. Many of UGA's seconds on that line would be starters most anywhere else in America.

42% efficiency and 2 interceptions vs Oregon is bad. There's no reasonable way to rationalize that.
Jalen Hurts first game vs another west team was better than that and he eventually lost his job and transferred.

Playcalling hurt Nix much more than anything else. Until Gus decided to establish a run and provide Nix with shorter and more manageable passes in the 2nd half, way too much was being asked of him under the circumstances imo.

He may be great, but Gus’ offense does QBs no favors. It seems like Stidham last year and Nix last night are constantly running around looking for open receivers. It’s like Auburn’s route tree is too simple to get receivers any space.

Glad to know his career is set after one game.

Bo will be running for his life too much and Gus will call a hundred single route plays that put Nix in bad spots.

If, like Jim, you think Nix is better than Fromm, you've smoked too much.
edit to say that I don't think Jim ever really believed that. He just doesn't like UGA and enjoys pulling their chains.

I’ll give Oregon a lot of credit. They sold out to stop the run and pressure Nix early. Auburn wore them down physically, that opened the run game. I believe Nix is legit. I also believe Gus is mentally challenged.

Lindsey brought a real route tree to the offense (the games we was allowed to coach) and that has been reverted back to the same ol gus bus route "concepts" with 3 guys just running down the field with no check downs, combo routes, screens, and nothing over the middle. The only difference is that Bo Nix runs a 4.5 and could extend plays. No team should ever have 8 passes thrown away because no one is open. Thats bad coaching.

You apparently think a QBs career is written after their first start. Maybe you’ve smoke too much or maybe just a moron.

I won't defend Malzahn, but as a Bammer that witnessed way too many passes to the sideline in 2017, I will just say it isn't always coaching.

Did you even read the header? I was going to ask if you read Jim's post earlier when he said Nix is better than Fromm. Not Nix may eventually be better than Fromm (never will) but Nix is better than Fromm. I said I was going to ask if you read that, but you didn't even have to, since it's in the header of this post.
But hey, get your hopes all built up. They'll come crashing down soon enough.

John your post is...well...ignorant. You're generally much more sane. At zero time have I ever even hinted that UT would be a contender in the east this year. So get that out of your mouth. You say yourself you thought JP would be a good coach. Saban got nailed his first year at Bama and then his second year got blasted in an embarrassing fashion by UfreakingTAH. Stuff happens. Pruitt doesn't have to be Saban. He just has to build a powerful roster. And Saban hired, trained and promoted and then rinsed and repeated on JP. So by your standard both he and Pruitt are failures. Yesterday looked bad for Pruitt, shite fire, he may not make it. But I think he will since history has proven that an average coach who will throw that cash around at UT will be successful. And they have that now in spades. Two snakes in fact! A python backing a rattler.

Yeah, AU’s Defense played lights out after that 3rd quarter TD. Oregon would complete a short pass and get zero yards after the catch or it would be a sack.
Once AU’s running game got going, it was over. They lined up to stop the run all night and when they finally got tired, AU shredded them and it opened up a few passes - granted Nix missed most of them except for the easy 1st TD and the last one (which the Oregon defender misplayed horribly).

John you keep sticking your hoof deeper in your mouth. You either mis-remember or have gone to fibbing. The exact post is this: Nix is a far better runner! And he is. Check out the stats from Fromm's first game early in his freshman year against ND, a top ten opponent, or close to it. Nix ran for 6 yards a carry against Oregon and Fromm lost a yard and a half per carry against ND. Their elusiveness is not close. Nix was the top DUAL THREAT QB in America last year. Dual threat is not something that comes to mind when UGA's great QB is the subject.

Mix is who is. A true freshmen who was overhyped. He can be better but he’ll never save the Gus Bus from leaving town.

Where was he over hyped? He was 5-star recruit who won the job, but most everyone said he was going to have growing pains.
He stayed composed most of the night despite running for his life. Oregon was tough in the trenches on both sides of the ball and they have a 1st round NFL QB.
