How Auburn QB commit Bo Nix hasn’t been sacked this season Updated 4:02 PM; Posted 4:02 PM 18 Gallery: Bo Nix honored as Under Armour All-American 1 share By Josh Bean | jbean@al.com jbean@al.com Auburn quarterback commit Bo Nix understands the importance of limiting negative plays. For evidence, consider this single stat: Nix hasn't been sacked a single time this season. Not once. It's a point of pride for Nix leads Pinson Valley in its chase for a second straight Class 6A championship. "My offensive line knows exactly what to do, and they give me time back there in the pocket," Nix said today after receiving his honorary Under Armour All-American jersey at a ceremony in the school's auditorium. "If something does break down, I've got a receiver out there I can just throw it to and make it work. It's means a lot for us, not to get sacked and not turn the ball over. We take pride in that. "Our O-line, they love it. They can say, 'Our quarterback hasn't been sacked all year.' For them to be able to say that and know I contributed to that, it's really neat." Latest Power 25 rankings The Power 25 is designed to rank Alabama's top 25 high school football teams, regardless of classification. Patrick Nix -- also the son of a high school coach and Pinson Valley's head coach -- abhors sacks and interceptions and has trained his son to avoid them at all costs. But even the elder Nix is impressed with Bo's ability to avoid sacks this season after he was dropped only three times in 2017. "Obviously, you have to have a good protection," Patrick Nix said " Most of our schemes are designed to get the ball out pretty quick, and he does an amazing job of processing things very quickly and the ball coming out. And, then, he's had some Houdini moments where he's gotten out of situations that you think there's no way he's about to get out of this and he gets out of it." Nix became the third Birmingham-area player to receive his Under Armour jersey this week, following Hewitt-Trussville’s Pierce Quick on Monday and Thompson’s Amari Kight on Tuesday. Hoover’s George Pickens -- a member of Auburn’s commitment list for the Class of 2019 -- received his last Friday. Bo Nix plans to graduate from Pinson Valley in December and enroll at Auburn immediately, which would allow him to participate in on-campus bowl practices. He'll then travel to Orlando for the Under Armour All-America Game before starting classes at Auburn in January. With Jarrett Stidham expected to head to the NFL after this season, Bo Nix said he hopes to be in the quarterback mix immediately. "I think every quarterback wants to go there and play," Bo Nix said. "but I understand that if it's not my time, it's not my time. I trust the coaching staff and I trust myself that it's going to come. I may have to be patient, but if it comes early, I'll be ready. If it comes later, I'll still be ready for it." First, though, he'll play in the Under Armour game, which he called "a dream come true." His grandfather, Conrad Nix, coached in the 2009 game and Bo is now scheduled to play in it a decade later. Could Auburn flip OL Amari Kight? The 6-foot-6 1/2, 315-pound Kight was honored today as an Under Armour All-American, the second Alabama commit so honored in the last two days Nix's ball security helped him secure the Under Armour invite and could help in his quest for early playing time at Auburn. Sometimes, he said, that means understanding the power of throwing the ball away. "You just don't take a sack and you just don't throw an interception," Patrick Nix said. "That's how it's been in our household forever. He's watched me watch games and yell at quarterbacks on the screen for taking a sack or throwing an interception … and me telling him, 'Hey, you don't do that.' "Second-and-10 is so much easier than second-and-16 or 17. Understanding the value of a yard, I think, is very important." Added Bo, "If something happens, just throw the ball away and live with the next play." But can he keep up the zero-sack stat all season? “I’ve made it this long, so why not keep it going?” Bo said.

you tell me.

several are fishy and one cat was talking about gus' "demise". i thought it was his coaching but i am not sure if he was saying he wanted gus to drop dead or something. if it was the later it was pretty bad and i am ashamed thee are auburn fans out there that think like that. and i understand people getting angry but good grief.

there seem to be a lot of troll types on the board lately and it seems they all wandered in close to the same time. anyone else thinking the same? and they all seem to be itching to blast the sunshine pumpers butmaybe it is my mental illness kicking in. and who was the cat that posted the "demise threads" twice only to get deleted. he came with them i believe. is anyone allowed to see this cats name?i was gonna bookmark it but it was gone before i could read the first two posts in his second thread.

how do you know it is not some kid? good grief.

i am not sure we need to replace our rb coach unless he is not happy. he sure has come up with some great backs while at auburn. i think the oline is the culprit for most of the rb troubles.

coach do you agree with this? i swiped iit from another site but it sounds legit. from a bummer fan as well. Is this a fair assessment: I've watched 3 of your games. Stidham is actually better than last year, often I see the A and B gaps collapse causing him to get rid of ball quicker or force throws. Team are sitting on your RPOs knowing that it's a quick read. Yes I know you guys have a few O-line issues but some can be covered by moving the pocket to take advantage of Stidham athleticism. I think Gus asking him to sit in the pocket and get to his 3rd reads on long developing plays is killing your offense. Arkansas was playing a soft Cover 2 and occasionally bringing a safety into the box. It should of been Barbeque Pig all night.

concerning the db's...........is there any chance adding the second secondary coach maybe has caused some confusion? not bashing but curious. i know we are playing some youth but i think we have done this before with better results? thanx

yes doc i live in the saks area tho i am originally from gadsden.

i have huge respect for coach peterson so i am taking nothing for granted. i just think we look better this year out of the gate than most years which i think means good things for us...........

i post that and then here i think herbie say this is petersons best team so far.................uh oh. lol

once again i appreciate your knowledge and insights! i read everything i can you and pass put out!

i love your posts coach. here is washingtons record for last year i believe. @ Rutgers W 30 14 Montana W 63 7 Fresno State W 48 16 @ Colorado W 37 10 @ Oregon State W 42 7 California W 38 7 @ Arizona State L 7 13 UCLA W 44 23 Oregon W 38 3 @ Stanford L 22 30 Utah W 33 30 (14) Washington State W 41 14 (9) Penn State L 28 35 their record to me does not scare me much at all even tho i know peterson is a good coach. do you think by their record washington might be a tad overrated? and i like washington so i am not dissing them just looking for facts with someone that has a better knowledge of what is and what appears to be.

but how rusty is he? i wonder ow long it takes for him to get back into football shape?

this article had a couple of tidbits that i probably overlooked so i thought i would post it. if it is a rehash please delete. Commits to Auburn After 6 Years with Phillies | Bleacher Report Scott Polacek 3-4 minutes Photo Credit: Jason Caldwell, 247Sports The Auburn Tigers landed a late addition to their 2018 recruiting class Monday. Cord Sandberg, who was a 4-star prospect and the No. 8 dual-threat quarterback in the 2013 class, per 247Sports’ composite rankings, announced his intentions to join the SEC program on Twitter: Keith Niebuhr of 247Sports noted Sandberg was a member of the Philadelphia Phillies organization for six years, which delayed his entry into college football. Sandberg also visited LSU, Auburn and North Carolina State, but Niebuhr pointed out the 23-year-old was given a full scholarship with the Tigers and was offered as a preferred walk-on at other programs. However, Sandberg suggested the scholarship situation wasn’t the reason he chose Auburn, especially since the Phillies said they would cover his tuition if needed, per Niebuhr: "When (Auburn coach Gus Malzahn) gave me a call maybe a month or so ago and said he would have interest in me, obviously the scholarship wasn't a deciding factor at all because if the best situation had been somewhere else that’s what I would have done. But when I talked to him and kind of knew playing quarterback at Auburn was a possibility, it was obviously something I grew up watching. The Iron Bowl is something pretty special and I grew up watching a lot of them. To have the opportunity to potentially play in one of those games and really all of the games that Auburn has a chance to play in and the venues the SEC has, it was definitely something that I knew was going to be tough to pass up. When I visited, (Sandberg and his fiance) were even more confident with the coaches and everything Auburn football is." Sandberg previously committed to Mississippi State when he was a highly regarded high school recruit but ultimately chose baseball and the financial reward that came with it. He reached Double-A in the minor leagues but is now giving another shot to the gridiron at 23 years old. While the NFL is an option at any time given he is three years removed from high school, he will have four years of eligibility at Auburn and will look to make his mark on a crowded quarterback room. Jarrett Stidham, Malik Willis and Joey Gatewood are already on the roster, and playing time may be difficult to come by for Sandberg even if Stidham leaves for the NFL following the 2018 campaign. Bo Nix is a 4-star prospect and the No. 1 dual threat quarterback in the 2019 recruiting class, per 247Sports’ composite rankings, and is headed to Auburn for his collegiate career. He figures to be the signal-caller of the future while Stidham is the current answer, but Sandberg turned heads in his past on the football field as a recruit. He will look to do so again in the SEC.

outstanding coverage mr ellitor. your hard work is not overlooked and i would put your forum up against anyone else's. i think a few of us do not realize all the time and hard work you put in. i hope the family gives you a raise. long may you run. and if i ever do a day trip to auburn i would love to buy ya a coffee or burger if it works out.

Auburn Football Auburn's plan at cornerback for the 2019 recruiting class Updated Jun 28, 7:02 AM; Posted Jun 28, 7:00 AM Four-star athlete Jaylin Simpson is the only cornerback currently in Auburn's 2019 recruiting class. (Photo courtesy 247Sports) 68 shares By Tom Green tgreen@al.com Editor's note: This is the eighth of a nine-part series analyzing Auburn's position-by-position recruiting wishlist for the 2019 class. Marcus Woodson inherited a pretty good situation when he took over part of Auburn's secondary this spring. Now, the first-year cornerbacks coach will have a chance to get a full recruiting cycle under his belt, with the Tigers expected to sign three cornerbacks in the 2019 class, with a scenario arising in which they could take four at the position this year. Auburn already has one cornerback committed to the class in four-star athlete Jaylin Simpson, who gave his pledge to the Tigers on April 30, and recently lost a commitment from three-star Saraland product Cordale Flott, who flipped his commitment to LSU during an official visit last weekend. Still, with the commitment of Simpson, Auburn has a solid foundation for the position heading into the end of summer, with several key targets still on the board and considering the Tigers. In Simpson, Auburn has a 5-foot-11, 185-pounder out of Saint Simons Island, Ga., who is rated as the No. 24 athlete in the 2019 class, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. Simpson, who is expected to play corner at Auburn, is also rated as the 35th-best player in Georgia and No. 320 in the country. The two most likely recruits to fill the other two spots at cornerback for Auburn are four-star prospect Zion Puckett and three-star in-state corner Nehemiah Pritchett. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound Puckett is listed as a receiver on 247Sports, but Auburn likes him at corner. The Spalding High (Griffin, Ga.) product is rated as the 25th-best player in Georgia and No. 234 in the 2019 class, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. Puckett was on campus earlier this month for Big Cat Weekend, when he declared Auburn his top school. "I believe they are No. 1 for my priority," Puckett said that weekend. "No. 2, I would say right now would be Alabama. What sticks out from Auburn is I feel like this is a good fit for me." Puckett has an official visit scheduled to the Plains on Oct. 12 for the weekend of the Tennessee game. So far, it's his only scheduled official visit, and Auburn is still considered the favorite to land the four-star athlete's commitment. Pritchett is a 6-foot, 170-pounder out of Jackson who is rated as the No. 93 cornerback in the 2019 class and the 36th-best player in Alabama this cycle. He was on campus earlier this month for camp, and then a few days later he earned a scholarship offer from the Tigers, who are considered the favorite in this one. He also holds offers from Memphis, Ole Miss, Troy and UAB, among others. If Auburn lands both Puckett and Pritchett, there is a scenario in which the Tigers take a fourth corner: five-star prospect Andrew Booth. Booth, the nation's No. 2 corner and the No. 26 player in the 2019 class, is a clear take for Auburn -- though it will have to beat out Clemson, and others, for the Archer High (Lawrenceville, Ga.) star. Booth has reportedly made multiple visits to the Plains this offseason, including a May 5 unofficial trip, but he has also made at least two trips to Clemson in the last two months or so. While it should be a tight battle against Clemson for Booth, who is expected to make a decision before the start of his senior season this fall, Auburn has at least one potential factor going for it: Booth's friendship with five-star Auburn linebacker commit Owen Pappoe.

Auburn commit Bo Nix wins QB award at recruiting event Updated Jun 28, 5:49 PM; Posted Jun 28, 5:40 PM 38 Gallery: Bo Nix - Pinson Valley football 11 shares By Josh Bean jbean@al.com Auburn quarterback commit and Pinson Valley senior Bo Nix continues to impress at national-level recruiting events. Nix, who committed to Auburn in January, won the Quarterback Skills Challenge at the Rivals 5-Star Challenge today in Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Nix previously competed at the Elite 11 Finals in California earlier this month and advanced to The Opening Finals, which begin Saturday in Frisco, Texas. He is one of only 12 quarterbacks nationally invited to The Opening. Alabama quarterback commit and Thompson senior Taulia Tagovailoa, is also scheduled to compete at The Opening. . Nix completed 196-of-307 passes for 2,872 yards, 35 touchdowns and just four interceptions in 2017, leading Pinson Valley to a 15-0 record and its first Class 6A state championship last season despite missing several games with a leg injury. He was also named Class 6A first-team All-State and earned AL.com's All-Birmingham Player of the Year award. Currently a four-star prospect, the 6-foot-2, 194-pound Nix is one of the nation's top dual-threat quarterback prospects in the Class of 2019. Winning today's Quarterback Skills Challenge could lead to him getting a fifth star and moving up in national recruiting rankings. Who were Bama's best HS athletes in 2017-18?

all Auburn plans slightly smaller wide receiver group with 2019 recruiting class Updated 7:00 AM; Posted 7:00 AM 26 Gallery: Hoover's George Pickens 2 shares By Tom Green tgreen@al.com Editor's note: This is the third of a nine-part series analyzing Auburn's position-by-position recruiting wishlist for the 2019 class. After stocking up on wide receivers in the 2018 class, Auburn is planning for a slightly smaller group in the 2019 cycle. The Tigers signed four wide receivers this year, including four-star prospects Anthony Schwartz, Matthew Hill and Seth Williams, as well as three-star receiver Shedrick Jackson. That, combined with the fact that Auburn will lose only two senior receivers to graduation -- Ryan Davis and Will Hastings, barring a medical redshirt for Hastings, who tore his ACL in the spring -- after this season, mean the team will have plenty of depth for 2019. As such, Auburn is planning to sign three wide receivers with its 2019 class. ADVERTISING The Tigers already have two of those three locked in for this class, with commits from four-star receivers George Pickens and three-star wideout Ja'Varrius Johnson. Pickens is Auburn's longest-standing commit in the 2019 class, having kicked off the Tigers' impressive run on the recruiting trail with a commitment 11 months ago. The 6-foot-4, 190-pounder out of Hoover is rated as the No. 8 receiver in the nation, the fourth-best player in Alabama and the 51st overall prospect in the 2019 class. Pickens, who has been playing 7-on-7 this offseason with quarterback Bo Nix, a fellow Auburn commit, is the Tigers' second-highest rated commit in this class, behind only five-star linebacker Owen Pappoe. Johnson is one of the newest members of Auburn's 2019 class, committing nearly two weeks ago after impressing the coaching staff at an on-campus camp. The 5-foot-9, 164-pounder out of Hewitt-Trussville may lack in size, but he makes up for it in speed -- fitting a similar mold to former Hewitt-Trussville receiver Noah Igbinoghene, who is now likely to start at cornerback as a sophomore for Auburn. While Johnson is only a three-star recruit and rated as the No. 212 receiver in the class, his stock has been on the rise in recent weeks -- garnering an offer from Mississippi State less than a week before he was offered by Auburn -- and his overall rating stands to improve between now and signing day, especially if he puts together a solid senior season. 5-star receiver Jadon Haselwood: Georgia 'probably concerned' about Auburn visit Jadon Haselwood is sure Georgia isn't too happy to see him visiting Auburn so much. With those two on board, Auburn has one remaining spot to fill at receiver, with several options still on the table. Chief among those is five-star receiver Jadon Haselwood, the No. 1 receiver in the nation, No. 6 overall prospect in this class--and a Georgia commit. Haselwood visited Auburn earlier this month for Big Cat Weekend -- and has made multiple visits this offseason -- and the Tigers remain in the mix for the 6-foot-3, 195-pounder after giving him something to think about. Another target is four-star receiver Devonta Lee, the No. 16 receiver in the nation and one of the top recruits in Louisiana. Lee hasn't been to campus since last spring, but back in late March he named Auburn among his top 12 schools. Still, this is expected to come down to LSU and Alabama. Four-star receiver Elijah Higgins, the nation's No. 17 receiver, was on campus for a visit last week, while four-star receiver Dannis Jackson -- one of the top prospects in Mississippi -- was on campus back in February, and the Tigers remain in the mix for him.

Sports 'The ultimate leader ': Auburn signee Carson Skipper named All-Birmingham Player of the Year Updated 6:30 AM; Posted 6:26 AM Gallery: Carson Skipper: 2018 Birmingham Baseball Player of the Year jbean@al.com As Hewitt-Trussville ended its final practice before heading to Montgomery for the 2018 Class 7A baseball championship series, players quickly worked on routine field clean-up. Where was Auburn signee and star pitcher Carson Skipper? Did his seniority and star status keep him from getting his hands dirty? Nope. "We look out there and he's nailing nails into the tarp around home plate. That's who he is," Hewitt-Trussville coach Jeff Mauldin recalled. "He's a future SEC player at Auburn University, he's leading our team in every category that's on a piece of paper and he's the one nailing the nails in the tarp. "That shows you his work ethic and how his parents have raised him to be humble and do what's expected of you and lead, whether it's pitching in the state championship game or putting the tarp down around home plate. That's his thing: Lead by example." Skipper, a senior left-handed pitcher and first baseman, capped his high school career by leading the Huskies to a runner-up finish in 7A. He finished 9-3 with a 1.50 ERA and hit .406 with 16 doubles, eight triples, four homers and 49 RBIs. For his performance, he is today named AL.com's All-Birmingham Player of the Year. He edged Homewood outfielder Josh Hall, who set AHSAA single-season and national career stolen base records, and Hoover's Sonny DiChiara, the area's top power hitter who also moonlighted as the Bucs' closer. Skipper started his career as an eighth-grader in 2014, called up from the middles school squad to pitch against powerhouse Huntsville. He moved into Hewitt-Trussville's pitching rotation in 2015, led the Huskies to the state championship and was named MVP of the 7A championship series in 2016, went 8-1 with an 0.96 ERA in 2017, and led the Huskies back to the championship series this year. Along the way, he compiled a career record of 31-8 with a 1.91 ERA, including 29 complete games. He recorded 318 strikeouts in 290 innings and issued only 58 walks. "The ultimate leader for our team, the ultimate competitor," Mauldin said. "His presence on the field for us gave everybody on our team confidence we were going to win, whether he was playing first base or pitching or when he stepped into the box. "He has this aura when he walks on the field that he's going to get the job done, no matter the situation, whether it's on the mound or getting a big hit." St. Luke's star shortstop Jeremiah Jackson was named Alabama's 2018 Mr. Baseball by the Alabama Sports Writers Association on Sunday night in Montgomery Mauldin and his staff quickly understood Skipper's pitching ability -- evidenced by his start as an eight-grader -- but they weren't sold on him as a hitter. That changed as a sophomore, when he became a mainstay in the middle of the Huskies' lineup. In the 2018 playoffs, Skipper moved from the No. 3 to No. 2 spot in the lineup in an effort to get him more at-bats. He hit .406 as a senior, but also showed plate discipline by walking 24 times to earn an on-base percentage of .586. He also finished 10-for-10 on stolen bases. "He was born to pitch, but he made himself a hitter," Mauldin said. "Now, he may be born to do both." Skipper signed with Auburn and could pitch, hit or do both during his college career. Mauldin sees bright days ahead for Skipper's college career. ADVERTISING "He's going there to get some stuff done. He's not done," Mauldin said. "Some kids, when they get that scholarship, it's, 'Yes, I've got what I've been working for.' That's not him. That's just part of the journey for him."

i have been over run with mice. i am tired of killing them cus i think they are cute but they will poop anywhere and i cannot have that.after spending way too much money doing traps ans rat poison i bought some peppermint oil. i was told dabbing some on cotton balls and putting them in cabinents and closests etc they would leave because they cannot stand the smell. i hope it works. and i was told snakes will not go near it either but i have no proof other than friends opinions.
