SEC Nix was often shook and turnover prone when facing decent defenses and hostile crowds.
Nix was rattled against Tortilla Tech, the most hostile place in Texas and the best 2-3 roster in the history of football
32-44, 359 yards, 2 tds, 0 turnovers. Also led the team in rushing. #rattled
You used to be a decent poaster. The fuck happened to you
There does seem to be a limited degree of groupthink on HcH about how Nix is somehow this arrogant, overhyped, partially disabled QB with a touch of inbred downs whom the Huskies are going to destroy. I do not buy into that rationale. I think he's going to have a very good game against UW and again I feel it will be a 42-38 type of ballgame. I lean UW.
It may be because of the sharp contrast that Nix, or anybody else, would draw against Brown and Shuck, both of which, when they broke, and each broke badly, were horrific decision makers. But I've never quite grasped the argument that because he went down last year against the DWAGs that he's somehow this crazy stupid kid. I don't recall a ton of "what were you thinking throwing it there?" passes, and Nix is a runner and built for it. In fact, I've been surprised how little he's run thus far this season. When he gets going on the ground they are tuff to defend.
His spikey hair gel hair and image as a privileged upper-class southern bible thumper does predispose him to harsh judgment from cynical northerners like me. But as a player, there's been no question with me that he's a very good QB. An all-timer? No. But as a college [/i]QB, he's better than Herbert was. Probably won't start in the NFL, but then again nothing surprises me anymore in that regard.
Husky fans seem to be predisposed to past performance equals future results more than most fanbases.[/b] Everyone reminds them of Sark too.
Feels more like a Duck trait to me.
