• Bo Nix finished the game with 21 completions from 38 attempts. Three of the in-completions were “throw-aways,” and his receivers dropped eight passes. Of the dropped passes, three would have extended drives. Take away the drops, and Nix could have been 29 of 38 for about 270 yards and two touchdowns. It was not the greatest pass, but John Shenker should have caught the red zone touchdown pass. Nix over-threw Demetris Robertson on another red zone touchdown opportunity, and the officials robbed Auburn after Ze-Vian Capers was mugged on another red zone touchdown opportunity. Nix finished with a pass rating of 97.9 but could have easily been 153.4.

During the last three games, Auburn has thrown the football 134 times to 93 rush attempts. Six of those rushes were sacks, so it is more like 140 pass attempts to 87 run plays. Throwing the football 61.6 percent of the time is NOT a winning formula for an Auburn offense. Auburn needs to return to its offensive identity during the second half of the regular season. Four of their last six opponents are currently in the bottom-half of run defense in the conference.

Stat, some of this is def on CBH.   Not sure if it is him trying to set a tone within the program,  but it seems he has gone for it many times where he could punt and pen the opp deep.   
 

thanks for posting, great read!

Agreed. Also do not like our defensive scheme.

 Geez, ofc plays look worse, once you see the video, but notice this.

1. Down and distance. It was 3rd and 2. DIdn't need to gamble on anything but getting the first down.

2. The play and the first read was to Shivers. Shivers has gotten plenty of 1st downs for us catching screens.

3. There is a DB over Shenker. Bo has no ideas the DB is blitzing. In his pre -read he sees a defender over the TE, and the play call to Shivers will be a good call because the D is overloaded to the right of Bo, leaving Shivers, as he gets to the left flat, is going to be open.

Why, anyone expects Bo to think there is a big play pass to SHenker, has to look at the play right now, not after the fact.

Now there is another video of Jackson who does a double move on the db, and is wide open that Bo could have seen, as he goes through his progressions, but he bails out of the pocket too soon. Even the analysts thought Bo should have read that one.

60 is considered average; below-average grades range from 50-60, and anything below 50 is considered poor.

Austin Troxell: 64.0

Brandon Council: 50.7      Tashawn Manning: 61.4

Nick Brahms: 50.6

Keiondre Jones: 60.5

Brodarious Hamm: 61.4

Do the other grades even matter that much after looking at these?

Absolutely they do. Especially when those grades don't differentiate run blocking vs pass blocking. 

Also, I'm curious how Bo regularly leaving the pocket too early affects these scores.

Just knowing what PFF considers a "drop" vs what should be reasonably be expected of the receiver tells me that these scores are hardly an objective metric.

There’s a saying in Medicine to explain the complexity of disease that goes:

” it’s usually not just one thing.”

Sums up our problems at the moment. It would be nice to be able to fix just one thing, but reality is…it’s everything.

I haven't agreed with most of the posts from that twitter handle, but that one was so free. I thought the pass was catchable, but difficult.  Taking the 50% (or worse) option when there was an 100% one is something we have to correct to hang with the better teams.

Tay is smoking some good stuff.   3rd and 2 two, ran the same play 3 times vs LSU and got three 1st downs.  
Shenkar was open ball hit him in the hands, poorly placed, but still in the hands.   Although #27 is open, so was the other dude.

Biscuit is winner!!!    To try and blame it on one or two people is ridiculous.

Not like those matter given that PFF's grades are often garbage since they don't know half the time how a team designs assignments & schemes on doing things. OL was obviously bad. Just don't need to use PFF's poor work as evidence of the OL being bad.

Nice to have you back, Stat.

I always enjoy your posts.
