Nix isn't himself. He is literally choosing to run the ball, then throwing himself on the ground 6 yards before anyone contacts him so his injury is not even close to 100%

I actually do think that was an intentional kick. But if I'm being objective, I'd invoke the 'sick-as-hell rule' and let it stand.

Will Stein isn’t here yet so what’s your data to compare Dillingham vs Stein?QuackininBama wrote:I tell ya this much. The loss of Dillingham is showing big time. This offense seems terrified to do ANYTHING aggressive.

Nix doesn’t seem his usual self. Also I imagine he’s still hurt? Cuz his mobility is super limited.

Maye making this look so easy. Not sure what Ducks team showed up, but they can go back on the bus and head back right now.

The field conditions are horrible, so that could be playing into Nix being tentative a bit. They are filling divots with sand during timeouts.

Well, it would be the Ducks without arguably their 3 best defensive players playing against one of the top 3 QBs in the nation.QuackininBama wrote:Maye making this look so easy. Not sure what Ducks team showed up, but they can go back on the bus and head back right now.

Is it me, or does Nix throw most of his interceptions on that slant to his right? Would love to see the stats on it.

I am not seeing the fire in Nix. Second half he will kick butt.

Personally can’t wait til we do away with bowl games and we just have a tournament to determine the best.

I know there’s a million “reasons” why our defense is allowed to look bad this game. But they’re ******g terrible. UNC’s D is every bit as short handed as ours.
I mean it’s baaaaaaad.

Our pass rush is so bad and secondary is horrific. Perfect recipe for a good qb to have a field day.
I understand that we re playing with many opt outs and transfers. But these r the players we will see on our defense next year. Its very worrying as lanning was thought to be a defensive guru and do what lincoln riley has done for usc’s offense. He will have less leeway in year two. Ironically, since lanning has arrived, our offense has improved and is looking bright for the future.

No Sewell, no Gonzalez. Think that might have be a factor?whosyourwally wrote:I know there’s a million “reasons” why our defense is allowed to look bad this game. But they’re ******g terrible. UNC’s D is every bit as short handed as ours.
