If the OL can look good against our DL that’s great. Not pleased to hear about the kicking. Really hoping Anders has a lights out year this year. It hurt seeing him miss kicks I know he’s more than capable of making. 1) he did look pretty good today- it could go either way . We are in good hands no matter what! 2) agree!!! 3) true. The good news is that most he has been good so far this pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will kinda be our version of the BUS Jerome Bettis in QB form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn2Eugene 2,317 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 So... Anyone wanna sum up the kicking issues for those of us without VIP subs? Because this is the first we have heard about there being a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnTiger4Life 2,225 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Stolen from SEC rant. Not gonna post the whole thing since it’s VIP info but this was my favorite part: Nix had 3 throws in practice that were "unbelievable". Gatewood did not lead his team to a score but had one pass blown dead early that would of been a score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude is not even as good as Baker or Kyler at the college level when it comes to recent college QBs among a whole host of other guys. Are you kidding me right now? Jalen Hurts had to come in and save his ass vs Georgia. Georgia was the first game all year where he even got a whiff of pressure in the SEC title game. He was able to take a nap back there for all of the sec regular season and guys were streaking open like they were playing the 2012 Auburn Defense.

I mean I was kidding in the first post but he was banged up from that MSU game on. They ate him alive. Guy couldn’t make elementary passes in that UGA game. The last sentence...that’s what Baker and Kyler’s receivers did against bottom 30 pass defenses. At least Tua was having his fun against A&Ms, Auburns, to some degree LSU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,679 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I think the one thing that needs to be fixed in his next/last season is his Favre esque decision making. Having the guys he does, he just doesn’t know how to consistently take what’s short and easy, at least not against pressure it would seem. It doesn’t help that his OCs don’t understand how to ride the running game unless they’re front running. Sark isn’t the guy to break those habits and he also sucks as an OC so hopefully Tua doesn’t repair these weaknesses until combine time. He COULD be Russell Wilson if his IQ improves and that’s just not what we need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that work better for you? Deshauns, based on performances relative to competition, the second most impressive QB of the decade imo. Clemson didn’t have the best running game or OL during his time and he went up against a near elite FSU, Lamar, and prime Bama. I don’t think it’s a slight to say what you said. However, if Tua can dominate a top 10ish A&M, the best LSU squad since their title year (or at least the most hyped), Auburn’s defense and UGA/UT...I think we could at least put him on the same tier. Maybe not better but in the same breath. Trevor looks like a HOFer maybe but he also played on what might be one of the best teams ever and could have a sophomore slump that changes the paradigm IMO Tua should finish around the top 20 all time if he continued his trajectory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a press conference today? I imagine that’s when Gus will name the starting QB I think we put way to much pressure on AC. The majority of kicks he missed were outside of 50 yards. The kid is good. It kind of like hitting your wedge inside of a 10 ft circle from 80 yards out vs hitting a 3 iron into the same circle from 200 . Also like golf some days you got it some days you don’t . What you look for is consistency “ most” of the time. AC won’t lose us any games but he might win us some. If you rely on a 50+ yd field goal to win then you really didn’t deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,679 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 It could be the best Iron Bowl QB matchup this millennium if Bo Nix is who you guys say he is and the OL can hold up well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your limb would break. Travis Tidwell started at QB as a true freshman in Auburn's 1947 season opener. To date, he's the only AU QB who started the opener of his true freshman year and Tidwell was eventually an NFL 1st round draft pick, #7 overall. Whether Nix joins him or not remains to be seen. Stan White was a redshirt freshman when he started, as Gatewood will be if he starts. 4 hours ago, au75 said: Bo Nix will be the second. Corrected that one for you!
