A Super Talk, Mississippi Media Production. All right, so joining me now, one of our long-time friends here on Thunder and Lightning, Jason Caldwell, from inside the Auburn Tigers, has been covering Auburn, I mean, a long time. I'm not even going to, I won't, I won't go any further than that, though. I won't. That's all you need to do. Just say a long time, and that'll cover it pretty much. So we're good. I got you. You know, Bo Nix and has played some of his best football this year, I think. But he's also had some times where you've seen, you know, the Bo Nix we've seen in years past, the inconsistency. Reminds me of another Bo, that we might know something about, you know, know was sort of good and bad on different days.

0:39.1

Bo, Nick's where is he?

0:40.4

Is he just somewhere in the middle for you as a quarterback or what are state fans going to see

0:44.5

this Saturday when they turn on the TV and watch this game?

0:47.8

I think it all depends on first of all, can they run the football?

0:52.0

You know, it's just dependent right now that they don't have enough true weapons outside to line up and just throw it a bunch.

0:59.9

I mean, the problem for this offense right now is, you know, you look and it takes 12, 13 plays to score touchdowns.

1:10.0

They just don't have a whole lot of explosive weapons right now. And, you know, you don't have a bunch of that in the running game because teams are going, look, we're going to try to take that away. So I think it's been kind of a combination of everything. I thought got a little impatient last week against Texas A&M. And some of that, I think, is caused by knowing that, you know, that's a really good defensive

1:28.4

line. They're going to get pressure. I got to get the ball out of my hands. When you do those things, sometimes you got to get your guys outside to make a guy miss. And instead of it being a five-yard gain, turn it into a 15 or 20-yard gain. They just don't have a bunch of those plays right now. So it's put a lot of pressure on them to really almost be perfect at times.

1:48.0

And that's. game. They just don't have a bunch of those plays right now. So it's put a lot of pressure on them

1:45.5

to really almost be perfect in times, and that's hard to do. And so I think it's been kind of a

1:51.5

combination of everything. I did think you probably got a little impatient last week was probably

1:55.6

the biggest situation. You know, made some checkdowns probably a little early. But I think some of that is caused by

2:02.5

knowing what you got in front of you in that Texas lane and defensive lines. So he played

2:07.5

pretty good for the most part. You know, a couple of turnovers. The last one really didn't impact

2:12.5

the game for the most part. But I would guess that he'll come back and play well.

2:18.2

He's responded every time in his career.

2:21.0

He's a guy that knows you've got to play the next play.

2:24.2

And so I would expect him to come out and play well on Saturday.

2:27.4

It's crazy how much of everything you just described,

2:30.2

I could have answered that question as Mississippi State.

2:32.9

Absolutely.
