It's not like depending on the QB, the game plan is going to be massively different. It's not like they're prepping for a Peyton Manning I formation vs a Michael Vick Read Option. Both QBs are nearly even in the run game. I just feel the coaches would throw less w/ Joey in the game. Oregon doesn't care who we claim the QB to be, their prep. doesn't change...just a few in-game defensive play calls. You articulated this much better than me.

Gus should be at a point where his offense is so adaptable to the QBs strengths without missing a beat. I remember reading from Bleacher Report how great Gus was at adapting to the QBs, and how Lowell Narcissee would really benefit from it. I wasn’t even high.

That shouldn't be the case when this is his niche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBwins 10,064 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Regardless if a starter is named, most of the local media is saying Nix. I just think even if Gus doesn't announce, Oregon will have a good idea it is Nix. It would be so Gus to start JG for an inside read play on the first snap only to let Bo come in after.

And there is a respected high school coach who writes the Know The Enemy articles each week for AU rivals who believes it & feels "you take any advantage you can get no matter how small it may be".

Bo will not out run our fastest guys on the team in the 40......BUT he is one of the fastest guys in the first 10 yards..... and that is what they were timing that day A category that has become big in the NFL. It's what that call explosive speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAG 33,955 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 It would be hilarious if Bo Nix became our own Johnny football (Without all of the cocaine, booze and strippers of course). One can dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I consider that a very good compliment. Talent wise is a different story. It's a compliment no doubt but how many PAC 12 teams would have bested 8-5 with our schedule last year. My guess is 0.

I can see him being faster than many players but not the WHOLE team even without Worm and Schwartz. Give me a break. I’m with you, but if he did I’m eager to see him bring that to the field of play.

The game plan may start off relatively neutral, but the QB that wins the job should have wrinkles implemented into the offense that can help his unique strengths. Otherwise we are just wasting talent. Exactly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUGunsmith 666 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 No D1 DC is going to be caught flat footed or lose/gain an edge by knowing who the freshman never played meaningful snaps/never played any snaps QB is going to be. This idea of keeping it secret for gamesmanship reasons is retarded. It will not in any way affect the outcome of this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
