Should have gone to Knoxville since Pruitt was calling the offensive plays from the sideline last year. By early do they mean pre kickoff or pre 1st snap?

Auburn2Eugene 2,317 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 it wouldnt surpirse me if the team already knows who the qb will be come game 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KolchakAU85 430 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I'm just a fan, with no qualifications to be an analyst. But would it be a huge surprise if Bo Nix turns out to be another Trevor Lawrence in the making? Just stewing and speculating, waiting for fall camp to open...it can't get here soon enough.

cole256 17,084 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I don't think people really understood how good Lawrence was coming out of high school. I literally hadn't ever seen anything like it so I doubt if I'll see it again anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be really nice if we had a Clemson effect this season (stacked d-line returns and freshman qb leads team to the championship) but you know...

Then we need a team that wipes the floor early with a weak team so backup gets a lot of snaps in those games. One of our problems in recent years is how poorly we played against bad teams so we didn't get to play backup QB's and other positions. A good theory but with two freshmen, seems like it would be best to give the "starter" as much playing time as possible early in the season to develop the offense. Swapping them around when both are green just seems like a system to take "experience" from the starter at the expense of the back-up......unless there is not much difference in them. IMO, whoever is the starter should get 90% of the plays, no matter what the scores are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KolchakAU85 430 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Like most people, I give the nod to Gatewood. He's been there for a year, and is a bruising runner. I'm just afraid we'll lose Nix somewhere along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one of life's greatest mysteries why Gus didn't use him for the zone read, especially when it became clear he wasn't a precision passer. Jeremy looked like he didn't love contact, but surely they could have gotten him out of that habit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks will balk at the Cam mention, but it's also worth pointing out that Lawrence is 6'6. But we should still be really damned excited. Chad Kelly? Maybe even a little Baker Mayfield?
