Good point, but late throws over the middle ain't no way to make a living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarEagleHunter1221 1,690 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 OSuper excited for Nix and I love everything about this decision. That’s a gutsy call to go with a true freshman QB on a make or break year. Good for Gus. Side Note: I just spent the last hour rewatching Bo Nix’s highlight reels...again.... and one thing that stuck out is just how smooth his release is on slants, quick and right on the money. They are truly a thing of beauty. I know we haven’t seen one in 84 years but if Gus doesn’t utilize his efficiency with those, ESPECIALLY with the possibly poor O-Line play then he is an idiot. I think we will see some early mistakes, as with any freshman QB but kid can ball. At least he won’t be holding onto the ball for 6+ seconds. 🤷♀️🤷♀️ WDE and do the damn thing Bo!!

Yeah after you identify it. The decision making process is different when that pressure is up. I'm sure they told him to never make that throw again though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus used to be a genius at adapting his offense to fit his QB. (Arky Wildcat, Tulsa heavy passing attack, Chris Todd 2009, Cam, and then Nick Marshall in 2013-14) The question is, will Gus (now that he is running the O and calling the plays again) adapt to Bo’s strengths? If so, we could be really, really good!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there someone who takes that stance AND also knows what he's talking about that can explain it? It would probably have to be someone who wasn't a fan club member. I appreciate willingly dying on the same stake that I did lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does have a Baker Mayfield type of style. I believe I’ll be biting my fingernails the entire time I’m watching him, the same way I was when OU played UGA in the CFP. If he has even half the success this is gone be fun to watch. Let him sling it, if its across the middle of the field and it’s picked off so be it. That gives us a better chance of going somewhere than that stuck in the mud stuff we went through last year. I held my breath every time Nic Marshall released the ball but it sure was fun to watch and we always had somewhat of a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like Nix stood out in areas that I knew he was going to stand out going in. And the other areas were brushed off as risky. Still, Nix won the trust from Gus. He did his job. Can only hope for the best. The outsider, Josh Pate, saying he thought he saw Malzahn trying to hold back on talking about Nix during media days might’ve been dead on.

cole256 17,084 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 You guys say that but that's was pretty much jj/SW. One guy believed in his arm too much and would sling it which resulted in ints but td's as well. The other guy wouldn't throw risky balls wish resulted in few td's and few picks..... Either way though......we'll need a RUNNING GAME; O Line; and a DEFENSE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It usually comes down to turnovers in a situation like this. Neither one can be counted on to win a game but they would be held accountable to not give it away.
