This is why I like Nix.

I'm guessing that you (@StatTiger) are saying more than you stated with this post.

If live he would have taken a massive hit and that may have affected the pass but still impressive that he kept the eyes down the field and still executed.

The biggest takeaway with Bo in the Aday game for me was him keeping his eyes downfield while on the run!

If you watch his highschool highlights, it's not surprising. Dude is a great passer on the run who is great at keeping his eyes downfield. Hes a really impressive and mature passer for his age.

He is wise beyond his years . Unbelievable kid

Same on the td from Willis to Hill. He might have been hit before the ball was even released.

Also appears that Kmart quit on his block early.

In fairness, I don't believe he was aware Nix had rolled that far out before throwing the football. (Watch his head turn and then back to the end zone.)

I’m sure he didn’t. He probably thought the play was pretty much dead. I don’t think it would have happened in a real game.

Thought when I saw this play live it was the play of the game. At least in regards to quarterback play.

Amazing how he has grasped this already as a true freshman.

[bigbird 60,501]

What I enjoyed in regards to Nix's performance is when plays broke down or were taken away he continued to try and extend the play through the air and not necessarily scramble. We haven't had a QB be a  playmaker through the air in quite some time.

I think it’s just more inherent than learned. Many qbs never get it. 

I was  Mohommes fan as a freshman because of this. He always had it. 

[Sizzle 3,912]

Great play. It wouldn't have happened if it was live though. He would've got hit before the throw

[SumterAubie 3,031]

Nice accurate throw off what looked to be an awkward delivery

[TigerFanAU 586]

Can you do one for Joey Gatewood now please?

[AUpreacherman22 3,885]

Thanks for the clip @StatTiger

I believe Nix is gonna be a really good one!

The good side was what Nix did the bad side was O-line assumed play was dead and stopped. I hope Grimes chewed them a new one. If the ball is snapped you play you never assume the play is dead. The D didn't.

They are coached to stand still to make sure they are not called for a false start. I have never liked it because of the potential free shot on the QB.

Can someone please explain to me why one DB and one safety lazily followed Stove? I don't understand how they couldn't or why they didn't identify Stove until it was to late? If the whistle doesn't blow aren't you supposed to keep playing? Seems like they were not fully engaged and going at half speed.

That’s kinda what you are hoping for on a free play. Unless you get injured there’s nothing to lose. Play looks lackadaisical ( on both sides) and someone slips open.

Even after the ball is snapped?

Yes, its happened a few times in live games.
