Hard to say either way but wish he would have not said anything. Clearly whoever asked the question was baiting him.

A poster on another board said Nix is 'fine'.
We certainly won't know till pregame warmups.
Certainly sounded like Crepea but maybe I'm just not remembering the chain of questions right. Hutson could easily have been trolling or maybe was just referring to what happened to this past weekend. It's just too hard to know what the players are being told to say.

Yeah, hoping he did not inadvertently spill the info.
DL said Bo is preparing as if he is a go so don't know if that is fact or subterfuge.
If Bo really is out I wonder how many times Dilly has replayed that 3rd and 5 playcall in his head. I imagine of all the decisions he made this year, he wishes he could take that one back before any other.

We're down to a one-point underdog. That's been changing over the course of the day (I saw us -2 this afternoon) so it seems reflective of the Nix news. If he's officially out, I think we're at least 3 point underdogs.

I'd be surprised if Butterfield somehow started over Thompson when Lanning has had ample time to put a 3rd QB in a game if they felt they were equal or wanted to rotate them and they haven't.
It doesn't mean that if Ty starts that he wouldn't come out if he was bad, just that I tend to think if somehow TT and JB were that close, we'd have seen some token handoffs from JB this year and we haven't.
Butters looked better to me in the Spring Game than Ty ... and, not to pile on, but from what we've seen of Ty I have a hard time believing he's a worse option at this point.
I think we see a repeat of 2015 if Bo isn't able to go.
It is a little hard to decide if Hutson was playing with the media or if he spilt the beans. On a positive note this has been a very fun season so far, reminding of the glory days of Mariota. If Bo is down the Ducks are due for a stepping out party by our next QB, so I hoping we see great things if it is TT. Just throwing a little sunshine, lol.

I agree Alan. I sort of think KH might have been playing a little but then I also wish he had been a bit more circumspect and not said him going down with an injury was part of the game plan. UGH! That's all dawg fans and beav fans needed to hear. I know those guys get drilled very hard on what not to say and how to say things when talking to the media so one can only hope Kris was playing some head games.
I listened to DL on the coaches show last night and nothing specific other than his only comment that Bo is preparing as if he will play was it. Of course he was very upbeat and there was not a lot that one could read into anything he said unless it totally flew over my head.
Utah had a similar situation when they played at WSU with Rising so we'll see how it all plays out. Whittingham said they are preparing for Nix which of course if coach-speak.
