Bo Nix reportedly out for this week’s South Carolina game; TJ Finley to start Keith Farner | 3 hours ago 1 minute Bo Nix suffered a serious injury on Saturday against Mississippi State, according to a report that said he will not play this week against South Carolina. The Auburn quarterback was 27-for-41 passing on Saturday in the 43-34 loss with 2 touchdowns. It is not immediately clear how long Nix may be out, but the Tigers face Alabama next week. TJ Finley will reportedly replace Nix for the game against the Gamecocks after he did in the third quarter against Mississippi State following a long pass to Ja’Varrius Johnson. A source close to the Nix family confirmed to me that Bo Nix broke his ankle against Mississippi State last night. It appears Auburn will come to Williams-Brice next week without it’s starting QB. Expect TJ Finley to be under center for the Tigers against the Gamecocks — Cam Gaskins (@CamGaskinsTV) November 14, 2021

You grow tired of the emotional abuse you’ve gone through throughout the years, yet your lover tells you; “Baby, I’m gonna change. You’ll see.” You then believe them. They start to show you how they change in a positive way. They make their strides and become better to you. And then, when you least expect it, it all comes back. Emotional abuse. You then grow tired of it again and demand change, but you can’t leave your partner. You hear; “I’m sorry, baby. I’ll be better. You’ll see!” And now, you don’t know what to believe. Your heart says they will change. But in the back of your mind, you wonder if that is actually true, or even possible. War Eagle!

is it too early to have a little fun? i stole this from reddit and the one comment was you cannot win with a Vandy defense..................

i am a doom and gloom guy so i think three years until we get rolling.

i hate that one thread got deleted cus i had a couple of funny lines in it...............

not me. i will pull for whomever is playing. and i am pretty weird. lol

bo has been one hell of a roller coaster ride but he has the heart of a lion and he literally gives his heart and soul on the field. he might not win another game but he has earned my respect. bo is a warrior that gives up his body on the regular. he is the guy they talk about when they sing fearless and true. it is a first year under a new staff so people need to give harsin time to do his thing. it is going to take time and we need to realize that. maybe tj looks better with more playing time than he got. the staff has said repeatedly that dd is not ready yet in that the game is too big for him at the moment. we just need to trust harsin to do what is best. and there are other options i think at qb coming in on signing day.

to be honest it happens too quick for my old eyes but i thought folks would want a good ol debate. harsin and several sportscasters have said it was a horrible call as did the dudes calling the game.

Rogers and lack of Auburn pass rush spark huge MSU comeback ByMark Murphy 4-5 minutes 2 Minute Drill: Auburn blows big lead in loss to Miss. State AUBURN, Alabama–Leading 28-3 late in the second quarter, Auburn lost its offensive momentum and the defense collapsed as Will Rogers went wild passing the football against the Auburn Tigers. The result was a 43-34 SEC victory for Mississippi State on Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium as the Tigers surrendered 40 uncontested points and gave up six passing touchdowns. The home team also surrendered any outside chance it had to stay in the race for the divisional title by allowing the visiting Bulldogs to score 40 straight points beginning with their first touchdown drive of the day, moving 75 yards on 10 plays just before halftim After holding the Mississippi State offense to 155 yards in the first half, with 144 through the air, time after time Rogers found open receivers on mostly short and medium pass routes against the Auburn defense. On almost every occasion he was able to throw without any pressure and he often had time to go to his secondary receivers on whatever route he chose. “I thought in the first half we got more pressure on him,” Auburn’s head coach, Bryan Harsin, said of how the Tigers dealt with Rogers and the MSU passing attack. “At least we made him move from his alignment in the pocket so at least we got him off his spot more than we did in the second half. I think their offensive line did a good job of making adjustments. “I don’t know why we didn’t get as much pressure and why he felt more comfortable in the second half than the first half,” said Harsin, whose team spent most of the day rushing three players vs. the Mississippi State quarterback. In the third quarter Rogers completed 17-18 passes for 198 yards as the Bulldogs scored on drives of 75 yards and 98 plays to cut the lead to 28-23 going in the fourth quarter. The final quarter wasn’t any better for the Auburn defense, Rogers hit 7-8 of passes for 73 yards while the Bulldogs added 60 yards on the ground in the period. They took the lead with 13:28 left on a six-yard pass play after moving 72 yards in just six plays. Two more quick score drives of 55 yards on five plays and 45 yards on four plays after an Auburn fake punt pass attempt was incomplete sealed the home team’s fate on Saturday to the dismay of a sellout crowd at Jordan-Hare Stadium. With the loss the Tigers dropped to 6-4 overall and 3-3 in the SEC. Will Rogers finds plenty of time to throw the ball vs. the Auburn defense. (Photo: John Reed, USA TODAY Sports) For the game the Auburn defense allowed the Bulldogs to finish with 487 yards on 75 plays. Rogers completed 44-55 passes for 415 yards and was not intercepted. Unlike the previous week in a loss at Texas A&M where Auburn’s offense was shut down for all four quarters and the defense gave the Tigers a chance to win, this week Auburn’s offense scored five touchdowns. However, only one of those came in the second half and that came with 3:37 left in the fourth quarter that was too little, too late. Auburn's quarterback, Bo Nix, hurt an ankle and missed the final Auburn possession. Nix completed 27-41 passes for 377 yards and two touchdowns before giving way to T.J. Finley, who lost a fumble on Auburn's final offensive possession. 26COMMENTS Asked how the team can bounce back from the loss, Harsin said, “One it comes back to loving football. That is going to be challenge because when you win everything is good. When you lose you start to question yourself and the things you are doing.” Harsin added, “We absolutely talked about that in the locker room. It is the same message going back to fall camp and spring practice about what it takes to be successful,” he said about the desire to win games and improve individually and as a team in the process.

theplainsman.com Nix now all time leader in total offense by Auburn quarterbacks Last Updated 17 hours ago 4 minutes Bo Nix (10) warms up before a football game between Ole Miss and Auburn on Oct. 30, 2021, from Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, AL, USA. Bo Nix has added another Auburn record to his resume. With his 23-yard pass to Kobe Hudson in the second quarter of the game against Mississippi State, Nix surpassed Stan White for most offensive yards by a quarterback in Auburn history. White, who had 7,920 yards of offense for Auburn from 1990-93, held the record for nearly three decades. It now belongs to Nix, who has 7,936 yards following the play. That number will only grow as the game against Mississippi State continues. The junior quarterback also surpassed Brandon Cox for third all-time in passing yardage earlier in the game. Nix still trails White in a couple of categories, being No. 2 in passing attempts and pass completions in Auburn history. Sign up for our newsletter Get The Plainsman straight to your inbox.

Auburn Football Baffling day at Auburn ends with serious questions Updated: Nov. 13, 2021, 5:13 p.m. | Published: Nov. 13, 2021, 5:13 p.m. 270 shares By Joseph Goodman | jgoodman@al.com It’s impossible to know if Auburn’s stunning collapse to Mississippi State on Saturday would have been different based on one play. Maybe, but probably not. When a team blows a 25-point lead, and that collapse is the worst in school history, and it’s Mississippi State that’s on the other sideline inside Jordan-Hare Stadium, one play probably isn’t going to mean that much to anyone on the silent drive home. That doesn’t mean this one play in particular is any less significant, though. Auburn’s season under first-year coach Bryan Harsin fell off the cliff with its 43-34 loss to Mississippi State, and it was painful to watch a team with so much promise at halftime blow it all like that, but tucked inside that historically bad second half was the controversial ejection for targeting on Auburn pass rusher T.D. Moultry. Where to begin? How about here? The call by the replay booth was violently awful. The decision to kick Moultry out of the game was unforgivably unnecessary. Somebody, please help it make sense. Harsin wasn’t that guy after the game. He indicated that the field officials didn’t see anything to qualify it as targeting. “They saw what I saw,” Harsin said, who added that it was a “momentum-changing play” that “wasn’t called on the field.” Somebody, anybody, please explain how the evolution of targeting — a very important rule in college football — has evolved to the point that arguably the best defensive play in an SEC football game is instead penalized for 15 yards, an automatic first down and, most egregiously of all, an injection from the game. No, that play isn’t why Auburn lost, but it could have been the thing to resuscitate Auburn’s chances in one of its most important games of the season. RELATED: Auburn suffers all-time collapse RELATED: Inside Auburn’s stunning loss, and State’s 40 unanswered points It was either rage inducing, soul crushing or frightening for the Auburn supporters still watching the game at that point. As a mostly unbiased observer, I wanted to throw my laptop at the windows inside the David E. Housel press box. It was a beautiful football play. Moultry broke through the Mississippi State offensive line, left his feet as if trying to position himself to deflect a pass but then registered a sack when Bulldogs quarterback Will Rogers pulled the ball down. Yes, it was helmet to helmet. No, there was no intent to injure Mississippi State’s quarterback. Moultry was called for targeting, but he did not “target” the quarterback. It was not a “dirty” play, and it didn’t even seem like a dangerous play. Earlier in the second half, the helmet of Mississippi State defensive back Emmanuel Forbes Jr. collided painfully with the helmet of Auburn receiver Kobe Hudson on a questionable play. A flag was thrown for targeting, but upon review, despite it being helmet to helmet, it was overturned because, clearly, Forbes’ intent wasn’t to harm and he was going for the interception. It was a football play, in other words … just like Moultry’s. Y’all, again, please help it make sense. There was a lengthy review after Moultry’s sack, too, and third and 21 turned into first and 10 and Moultry, who had rightly celebrated the sack, was, just that fast, gone. Kicked out of the game. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve written about “bad calls” determining the outcomes of games, and this horrendous call, in my opinion, doesn’t qualify as that, but it does help me understand the difficult job defenders and defensive coaches now have in this game. They can’t play it the way they were taught their entire lives. Again, Moultry was innocent of targeting, and everyone knew it, but he was booted for a play because intent isn’t supposed to matter (unless it does) and because — trust me, I get it — preventing brain injuries and keeping players healthy has to matter more than anything else. Auburn quarterback Bo Nix saw the replay, and got it right. “Just getting to the quarterback is all you’re thinking about,” Nix said. “It’s one of those frustrating things, but that’s football and it happens.” Remember the circumstances before the play for context. Auburn was still in the game, and trailing by eight, with 6:35 left on the clock. After the first down for targeting, Mississippi State scored its sixth straight second-half touchdown to go up 43-28. For Auburn (6-4, 3-3), it was a devastating second half for its chances to remain in the hunt for the SEC West crown. Auburn led this game 28-3 in the first half thanks to excellent performances by both the offense and defense. What happened at halftime? Long will we be asking that question. RELATED: What Bryan Harsin said after Auburn’s loss to Mississippi State RELATED: Auburn offense loses momentum in collapse It will forever remain a mystery, but it seemed like everyone on Auburn’s sideline emerged from the locker room with the same kind of energy level people might experience after eating an entire turkey and three pecan pies while slamming back whiskey sweet tea. Lethargic doesn’t even begin to describe the offensive line. Tired is what Auburn fans call questions about Harsin’s vaccination status. This team was sleep walking towards the edge of oblivion and didn’t seem to care. Until Moultry’s sack. And then that shot of momentum lasted long enough to review a play and seal the fate of a game. The defense allowed 40 unanswered points, so it shouldn’t have even been in that situation at all. For Moultry, though, it was the heartbreaking conclusion to a sequence of events that should have been, or could have been, his single greatest on-field contribution to Auburn football in his entire career. He’s a senior, and he has been through a lot while at Auburn, but he has worked and worked, and his persistence was supposed to pay off on that field against Mississippi State. Instead, the replay booth took that all away. Joseph Goodman is a columnist for the Alabama Media Group.

The Bo haters are about to find out why he was our QB.

i want more. much much more. i want him to get fired and exposed for any cheating he did.

good point. fair is fair.

i am betting that evile bobo was telling bo to shake it off and get back in the game and take one for the team. bad joke i know. yes it is a joke folks. but it also speaks of the heart of a champion bo has in a left handed kind of way because bo is that kid. thia stuff is so weird because bo seemed fine in his post game video.

well some say leach is the best O guy in the country. shrugs. it is year one. it is still hard but i am thinking at least we did not lose to mullins today which would have made me lose it. i cannot stand that lying sack of garbage or his wife. they smeared cam and i have not forgotten.

those are great points i had not considered. sometimes being hard to work for is not a bad thing if you are not mistreating anyone. i have high hopes for harsin and altho i am baffled about today we do not know all the reasons and he is going to say very little. but this is his first year and i expect much better down the road. and i want him to learn from his mistakes if and when he makes them. the man left a cushy job to come down here for a chance to compete for natty's and that part i did notice. i believe on the auburn board on the rant some sports writer just gave him hell but a lot of it seemed off. but for the record i am a harsin guy.

i agree two thousand percent. at 66 i am desperate for the good times. i am afraid i will be gone and not get to see them. sad but true.................

a reg on here was in alaska and did not get to watch it. i am pretty sure i will not be............grins

i was not going to but dag had not gotten to see it and there might have been others. but you are so right. if i watched it would be first half and no more. i will keep up with visitor counts and see. but hey i did post last nights basketball game on the roundball board..................grins

bo i think got injured at penn state and played hurt against ga state. he mentioned it in one of his clips this year and played it off like it was nothing big. i think maybe it was thus we get good bo and bad bo. nothing else makes much sense to me.

you are both right. coach boom comes to mind as a mercenary or using us until something better comes along. he cares little for auburn. he makes a big deal out of beating us. he stayed a year and bolted when he got a chance too. but lord i wish we had some of the badass recruits like he got for us in one season.

i was not jumping you at all. i am confused about bobo. a ton of people say he sucks and others seem to think he is the right fit at the right time for coaching up qb's and all that. i was just saying it is harsins call because i saw an assistant coach try to change a player without the head coaches approval and got dressed down on it. it was in the sports news but my memory is getting worse as i cannot remember who it was.
