WFE12 9,191 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Like I said in the game thread I think Gus was scared to put Joey in on the road even though it made all the sense to do it. How many times did we fail on 3rd down? And to not use the 6'5 250 guy?..It paid off in the Oregon game to leave Bo in so he's so stuck on being different and keeping him in it made us look worse. I mean you're not redshirting him...Why is he riding the pine ALL game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boisnumber1 2,819 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Like I said in another post, apparently Gus wanted to leave Nix floundering out there so that all of his confidence would be gone. He did Bo no favors by leaving him in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jptiger 481 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Joey Gatewood is not the second coming of Cam Newton. We will win a bunch of games and probably championships with Nix. Some have it. Some don’t. Nix has it. He is a freshman and played like it today. Get ready for next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has nothing to do with whether Nix should be pulled when its deserved. I dont care what caliber of QB he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is implying that he is. All I'm saying is to at least use him for short yardage situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarEagleHunter1221 1,690 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Until Gus plays him in significant situations we will always wonder about Joey and people will continue to have the same argument. I’m not sure if today was the day to do it just because he would have been put in an impossible situation with a high chance of failure and that wouldn’t have helped his confidence at all. Of course today didn’t help Bo’s either. At the end of the day the main problem Auburn has is the same problem AU has had for years now. It’s all about the play calling.

WarEagleChemE 99 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 It's a dilemma. Bo Nix is a true freshman, so that can be invoked as a shield whenever he has a game like today. It calls into question: as a true freshman, is there a limit to his performance to where he could possibly be benched? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we’re talking halftime then sure but when they were calling for it late I just didn’t see that as fair to Joey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,075 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 That's why you put Joey in early in the game every game. That way he is already acclimated and it does not look like your yanking Nix from game. He needs a set of downs at a time to see what he can do. Maybe he was pumped up ready for this game, but alas you never know if you don't give him a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me if Bo had done as bad in the first half as he did in the second then you bench him for Joey at the half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aublue88 145 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Nix should have been benched because he deserved to be benched. He was not making the throws or the correct reads. Joey Gatewood is not a bad option just as a change of pace, he deserved, as a member of the team, the chance to right the ship. No one player should ever have that long a hook when they are not performing no matter whether he is a freshman or senior when there is another option. It was Gus's job to put the team in the best situation to win, not to baby Nix through a meltdown that lasted 4 quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
