I this was Gus’ first step in saving his job. Nix has apparently been bad in scrimmages

We'll see if he's the real deal. True freshmen QBs have been successful in recent years. Lawrence, Tua, Fromm.. We'll see if he can be that top tier or if he'll be the typical freshman

Nix will be fine. Auburn's defense is gonna make a bunch of QBs look bad this year

Ehh, I think he will be in time. But for this season this is probably best case scenario for us and the rest of the conference. Will he be any better than Stidham? I would have been worried had Gatewood won the job and heard praise about his dual threat ability out of camp, but what Nix brings this year sounds like more of the same....

I think Nix can run pretty well.

I guess. Most QBs can "run" in HS, though. Hell, Jarrett Stidham was a dual threat guy coming out of HS. I'm just saying when AU has been really successful under Gus they have had an explosive runner at QB. I mean they won the West in 2017 with Stidham, but they also lost 4 games...

?Tate Martell is gonna be really good?-MSState7 two years ago.

Wait and watch the kid play a meaningful D1 game before falling into the hype.

All I remember saying about Martell is I would love to have him when he announced a transfer. I still would.

Dumb move by Gus imo. I doubt Nix is the starter by the time we play Auburn.

True freshman. That doesn't bode well at all.

Agree, they must really suck at qb to start a true freshman even if daddy started there, and his dad was just ok.

That's rough. Starting a frosh at QB is never what you want.

Auburn arguably has the best DL in the country and return a good secondary also
Auburn returns all 5 starters on the OL
They return their TB's
Return 2 of their 4 top WR's

Auburn gets State, Georgia, and Bama at home. Auburn will contend for the SEC West

While they get UGA and Bama at home, they aren?t beating them.

They also have to play Oregon, State, @A&M, @UF and @LSU.

They will struggle to win 8.

Auburn is a 10-2 team at worst in 2019

It's possible, but I think you know that you can never, ever say that about a team with a true freshman QB.

We didnt win with our OL vs Kentucky, Bama, Florida, or LSU. We lost to Iowa because of a dropped TD pass in a very even game in the trenches

Football is a trench game

All of those teams have good lines. Just because AU returns some guys on the OL doesn?t mean they will have a better OL than those teams. They weren?t very good there last year. They def won?t have a better OL than Bama or UGA. Hell we probably have a better OL.

Yea, they?ll have a good DL, but they have had that for years and been mediocre and obviously teams like Bama, UGA, LSU, UF, A&M, etc have good DLs, too.

Nix not the typical freshman since his dad was a QB at AU and his HS Football coach. Probably enrolled early too, but I didn't verify. Kid can play. Also, the AU offense is not terribly complicated.

Auburn OL last year was the worst in a decade. First time since 2009 they didn?t have a 1000 yard rusher. And go look at the qb hurries and sacks they gave up. They did improve late in the year and are veteran, but they were not a strong point of their team last year.

Auburn has been far from mediocre- they have won the West twice in the last 6 years and they are usually very good in odd numbered seasons because of their schedule. They will be good this year. Thats the bottom line

Do you consider us mediocre? Auburn has the exact same sec record we have since league expansion in 2012, which is .500 or one game over .500 (can?t remember which). Higher highs but lower lows.

They will be ?good,? but unfortunately for them UGA is on a different level now and Mullen is at UF and Fisher is at A&M.

We dont have 2 West titles. Auburn > State. But we have been solid and a good middle of the pack SEC football team. We are top half SEC in bowl streaks. Thats a good thing.

QB- push?
RB- push
WR- AU
TE- State
OL- State

DL- AU
LB- State
CB- State
S- AU?

Schedule- State

What makes AU a 10-2 team?

Hell I?d venture to say we are better at RB...

Returning 5 bad offensive linemen for a true freshman qb...not buying.

You gotta score touchdowns to win anymore no matter how highly ranked your defense is, as we know all too well.

Their OL will play very well vs our DL- creating easier conversion situations for their freshman QB. Their OL will pass protect their QB very well and keep us off him.
Their DL will create havoc for our QB and offense- especially on the road- where we were terrible last year. Their Secondary is better than our WR's

Road game where we likely lose by double digits

I?m talking about the whole season. Trying to figure out how you project them to win 10 when on paper they aren?t that much different from State.

Sure, they could beat State by 2 TDs, but they still have to beat Bama, UGA, UF, LSU, A&M, Oregon, etc...

Just like we could lose that game and still win 8-9.

Their shitty OL doesn’t have a swinging dick who can block Spencer or Rivers.

We also don?t throw up a 3-9 like auburn does. Their ceiling has been higher, but our floor has been higher in the modern era (since league expansion), thanks to Dan. Dan > Gus
