Bo Nix, on dealing with Jordan Davis:
“You can’t really prepare for it, because obviously there aren’t many 6-6, 350-pound guys walking around that you can just avoid all the time,” Nix said. “I’ve kind of been there and played those kind of guys, been around and never necessarily had a huge issue with it. Just play my own game, and if they’re in my way, just kind of run around them.
“He’s going to make his plays, and that’s why he’s a good player; he’s going to be a great draft pick for somebody in the future, and obviously there’s no denying that. So we just have to limit the times he is making plays.”
Oh.

Brilliantly simple, and simply brilliant, in concept. Entire nous, Barners, perhaps a bit more difficult in practice. Buckle up, Bo. Apres Jordan, le deluge.

Jordan Davis is going to eat NIx alive. By the end of the 3rd quarter, on or about the Auburn 15, there will be some bones, scraps of jersey, a helmet shell and some beads. The faint smell of eye-black will be wafting thru the October evening…

He will. As KGB Teddy said before that last poker game at the end of Rounders, “Don’t you worry, son. It will all be over soon.” I’m beginning to think this little turd actually believes “fun ball” is going to get him through this. I’ve said it a couple of times already but I think there’s a good chance Bo Nix gets hurt Saturday. I’m not wishing it on him but I believe it probably happens. His coaches had better y’all to him about the middle school stuff or he may get hurt bad.

Right – the blind reverse spin into the awaiting arms of Adam Anderson? Or Carter? Nix made some of the most athletic plays I’ve ever seen in our game last year – to get an incomplete or avoid a sack. The part that gives me a tiny amount of concern is that we’ve seen Auburn succeed before with a “throw it up and pray” scheme. Will be a tough way to make a living this Saturday, though.

No, Bo, you run FROM Jordan Davis, not AROUND him. Problem is, you’re running FROM Nakobe and Tindall and Adam Anderson and Wyatt and Nolan Smith and Jalen Carter and Trayvon, too, and they’re not all coming toward you from the same direction. So that’s, let me see, one reasonably strong, athletic guy vs. eight much stronger and vastly more athletic guys. But yeah, you’ll be fine.

If AU is near the current tech at CFB analytics, they already have that information. Teams can monitor G’s, MPH, steps, vital signs in real time during games and practices. Kind of freaky. Makes the Fitbit and IPhone obsolete at that high level. Would be nice to know the full extent of the tech they deploy.

Y’know, I could see some Jordan-Hare magic happening. Maybe the Dawgs get off to a slow start and trail early, letting the Barner crowd get crazy loud. Then maybe Stetson reverts to the mean, starts telegraphing passes and throwing into tight coverage. He might even get a pass batted down right into an Auburn LB’s hands for a pick-six. Could get weird.
But when I envision the game I mostly see Bo Nix running for his life over and over and over again. Seems more likely than all the ifs that could make the game competitive.
