OM will have to play one of their own guys. The Starkville kid was a 4 star. I wonder if they?ll try Plumlee.
On Nix, I can see wanting to put up bigger numbers against the lesser Pac12 defenses in hopes of getting drafted.

Has Nix said why he is leaving Auburn as the starting QB with two years eligibility remaining?
Is Altmyer not worthy of the rating he had coming out of HS? I remember several folks I know were upset we didn?t pursue him harder then we landed Sawyer.
Archie / Eli - OM
Peyton - Tenn
Arch - UGA
The Mannings aren?t dumb. If Arch turns out to be the real deal . They want to spread around that last name Manning legacy and why wouldn?t they.
UGA is prob the best place to market that last name. The more it?s spread around the better for them..
Arch will end up at UGA or TX. With TX landing the kid from OSU, I think that may hurt TX chances.
It's pretty uncanny that between Chad Kelly and Matt Corral they haven't had any public incidents. I think covering things up is pretty engrained in their culture in Oxford though. There is no telling what went on- especially when Kelly, the Nkemdiche brothers, Tunsil, and Treadwell were all there. Probably was pretty weird when you add in their schenanigans with Freeze's Christian facade. Hugh probably had to skip over the Bible verse referring to the log in your eye quite a bit.
For that reason I could see him going to Alabama. It's the best place to go if they want to win a National Championship and a Heisman to their family brand. It's also not too far from Neshoba.** Seriously, they run a NFL scheme and they are having success with QB's in the NFL. It just seems easier to me to join them rather than beat them. And I don't think Saban will leave in the next five years probably. Especially if he has Manning.
I think Altmyer will be good with time, but I don’t see him being a game changer next year.
