Culture shock on the Plains:
Auburn OC Mike Bobo: "I don't know if (Bo) Nix has taken 10 under-center snaps in his career, but — knock on wood — he's been the best at it so far. We're not gonna be primarily under center, and we're not gonna be primarily out of the gun. We're gonna be a mixture of both."
— Justin Ferguson (@JFergusonAU) March 22, 2021
It’s gonna be a real trip to watch, Bo.
“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23
I don’t know if Jesus ever fumbled a snap.

I’m starting to wonder if the game has passed Bobo. 2014 was a long time ago in terms of the ongoing offensive revolution, and he hasn’t done anything impressive since then.

I think the same way. You put a full back in and the defense will always send another blitzer. Because you might get that playaction pass to the FB but that aint gunna hunt all game long.

Yeah, but can you imagine an omnipresent linebacker? Roquan was about as close as we’re likely to get, so, like, two Roquans?

Bobo has a lot of experience in teaching QBs how to play under center as far back at least as Mason. If I were an Auburn fan I may feel a little anxious about the team spending a lot of time on this aspect of Nix’s play. Everyone is almost all shotgun all the time so I don’t know what benefit teaching Nix how to line up in the I-Formation is going to bring the 2021 Auburn team. I don’t foresee them being a strong running team nor do I think that Nix having less time to decide where to go with the ball is a good thing.

Agree. Does it mean they’re changing playbooks from spread (Gus’s system) to I-formation (CMB’s system)? Or are they doubling the size of the playbook and doing both? Nix runs hot and cold already. Not sure I’d introduce the I-formation unless I was absolutely certain he could master it quickly.
But I’m not surprised CMB is back to making every QB a statuesque drop back passer, no matter the QBs skillset. I assume there will be play-action fakes to the RB, even on 3rd and a mile.

Do you guys really think your opinion matters even a little? Bobo has been in this business for some time so if I were an Auburn fan…God forebid…I wouldn’t be too worried about under or gun…just win baby!!

I agree I just don’t believe that with Auburn’s bad o line and lack of playmakers outside Bixby and Nix that they will run it successfully out of traditional Bobo sets. Bobo did a lot with some pore lines at Georgia but the 09 to 11 years where the line was not great and the RBs were not Knowhson, Gurley or Chubb were not efficient at running the ball. I am all for him turning Nix into Joe Cox. All for it.
