  09/30/20 - QB Bo NixrSr/2024, Oregon

  After looking at what Nix and his receivers did in the 29-13 win over Kentucky, Georgia's Kirby Smart noted that Auburn has an ability to use its skill positions and get the ball to them from different locations. As the leader of the offense, Nix's skill is an essential component of that. And Nix has plenty of skill. Smart listed off Nix's attributes saying he has a vertical passing game, a great arm and great athleticism. That helped him complete 16 out of his 27 pass attempts for 233 yards and three touchdowns against Kentucky. He completed one of the throws with his legs wrapped up by a defender, and launched another deep ball from off his back foot. Nix doesn't just have an arm. He's also got a serious set of legs. "People don't understand how good of a runner he is," Smart said.

In Auburn's season opener, Nix was the team's leading rusher. He picked up 34 yards on five rushing attempts, averaging 6.8 yards per carry. He went for 13 yards on one of his runs. But out of all of his skills, Nix's decision-making ability is one of the most critical pieces of his success as a quarterback. As a coach's son, Smart said Nix has been around the game all his life and shows an he knows what good decisions look like. It has helped Nix to go six straight games without throwing an interception. He has made 220 pass attempts since his last interception, which was intercepted by Derek Stingley in the LSU game. "I think the dink-and-dunk is the decision making he has, and it gives him the opportunity to not throw picks," Smart said. "Quarterbacks avoid picks because they don't throw into situations that are adverse." - Birmingham News
