Arkansas will do what Arkansas does, barring injury. This game will be decided by what Auburn does. They are finding their way under this new staff, and it looks like it. Nix is a mess IMO, but if he can make more plays than he misses and the defense can get a few stops, this game is a toss up. If Harsin would have handed the reins to Finley a couple of games ago to get him acclimated, I think AU wins this game if the defense can get a few stops.

^^ Another man that gets it. If you watched the GA game, Neuheisal called out Nix's play from a coach's perspective. Got on to the WRs too.

So, you think that was a well thrown, catchable ball to Shenker? He was wide open and he drilled the ball away and behind him. The throw to Shivers was a 5-8 yard throw drilled at his back shoulder at an angle running away from him. He needed touch on that ball - not soft, but touch. He should have also led him a bit. The rest of the drops, I look to the WRs. Well, he had a couple of others to Shivers where he is drilling 5 yard passes harder than he's throwing downfield. Nix is inaccurate and inconsistent. He makes a few plays with his legs or arm to reel you in, but overall he makes too many mistakes and misses too many opportunities. If he makes just 3 throws in the Penn State game AU wins. He missed several in the LSU game, and don't get me started about Georgia State.

^^ This man gets it. Nix also has accuracy issues, is inconsistent with footwork and mechanics, and doesn't climb the pocket, breaking his o-line protection. With all that, if he was on time, we wouldn't notice the other issues as much on the college level.
