Of course. And I think Nix is a good QB. I still think he is quicker to check down and/or run than Penix is. Regardless of the play call. That's all. Not really a knock, but I know you guys like to find slights even when they're not there. (Hi Dan Lanning!)bisonduck said:
Philosophically you can hate it. That said, it doesn’t mean Nix cannot process the play when it’s a designed throw behind the LOS.TheHB said:I like to call short passes an extension of the run game. I do that.

Also, is everyone here saying Polk is better than Troy Franklin? It seems to be the consensus.

I think Bo might have scrambled 3x on a designed pass plays and each time it extended the drive. Also, it’s not a check down if play is required to be behind the LOS. I didn’t take it as a slight. I didn’t take it as a slight. It’s just wrong.TheHB said:

There’s a lot of RPOs with throws that are required behind the LOS because of the blocking scheme.
A check down by definition should be a throw behind the sticks when there are vertical routes beyond the sticks.

UW/UO game will be a pick your score. Both teams offense with the best of them, and defense questionably. First team to not shit their pants and actually play pass defense wins.

Doog bullshit.Kingdome_Urinals said:Nix is not a clutch QB.
Nix is skittish in the pocket and an unsure passer.
Define clutch. He had game winning last minute drives against WSU, and UNC in the bowel game, last year. He played on 1 leg in the win against Utah when everyone, including myself, thought it was going to be a bloodbath. The UW and OS losses are all time nut kicks I will never forget, but Nix had 600 yards and 5 TDs in those 2.
He's also constantly looking down field and going for big plays instead of running the ball. He's the opposite of skittish, he's in total command.
Oh, and I spent $400 to drive up to Dallas to watch him lead a last minute drive to beat Oregon(nothing else matters).
And yes, UW/UO is a name your score game for the Huskies this year, and I have come to peace with that. FYFMFE.
It’s like many of you don’t watch Oregon.
At least half his passes against CU were at or behind the LOS.
Oregon's weapons on the outside are impressive and if no one can stop it then there's no reason to do anything different. But there's no point comparing Nix's numbers (or the pass protection numbers) to anyone else. Oregon's passing attack this year makes the Air Raid look vertical. -

If you can throw a bunch of sideways passes and succeed, why not? Especially because it probably slows pass rush and spreads out defenses for run game success. Outside of Franklin, and Irving as a receiver somewhat, are their outside weapons really that impressive? After Franklin the receivers have looked pretty JAGy thus far and have maybe had 100 yards in their two games against P5 opponents, including Colorado's awful D.dnc said:

Stats are comparable. I've been super impressed with Polk so far. Hard to say because you could say Franklin should get credit for doing it without Odunze and McMillan distracting coverage but you could also say Polk might be even more productive and impressive if he was a clear number one target.bisonduck said:Also, is everyone here saying Polk is better than Troy Franklin?

Oregon’s other WRs are Tez Johnson, Gary Bryant Jr and Taeshon Holden. Tez is an absolute mismatch in the slot. Oregon doesn’t throw it 50x downfield so production is meaningless.
They’re not as good as UWs trio but probably the best collection at Oregon that I can remember. -
I wouldn't trade weapons with them by any means but they have been really good at making people miss and turning those screens into very positive yards. They seem to block pretty well on the outside too.WoolleyDoog said:

From what I’ve seen, Polk has elite hands. Troy Franklin has an elite release off the line. The dude is constantly wide open.
Tez Johnson will be the quickest on the field.
This should be an absolute battle royale.
