A Super Talk Mississippi Media Production.

Another huge November matchup for the Bulldogs is the Auburn Tigers.

Let's go to the Welcome Home Beef Hotline and talk to my friend Jason Caldwell.

From inside the Auburn Tigers, been covering them out on the planes for a long, long time.

New coach, new look in Auburn, but Bo Nick's still there.

Tank Biggerty's still there. How similar is this Auburn team going to look to what you saw a year ago, and how different is going to look? Yeah, I think from a personnel standpoint, obviously there's some losses when you look at, you know, no Seth Williams, no Anthony Schwartz, no Eli Stowe. That's probably the biggest things you'll notice on offense. It's going to look different in terms of what they do. They'll be under center

some. They'll, you know, two tight-ins, maybe three tight-ins. There'll be some differences there.

Defensively, it'll, everybody's kind of multiple now. You bring in Derek Mason, and it'll be

maybe a little bit more, you know, of a three, four look at times.

But from a personnel standpoint, not a big difference other than a few key transfers for this team that I know they're hoping that can make an impact.

But, yeah, it'll look a little different.

But, you know, the thing for this team is that you mentioned those two guys,

Bo Nix Tank Dixby, those guys got to stay healthy for this team.

I think not a whole lot of depth behind either right now.

I thought that Nix had one of his better games against Mississippi State a season ago.

That was a game where, you know, State had picked up a little momentum late in the year. And Nixon and the offense for, and Bigsby obviously was very huge at that game as well. When you look at Knicks this year, does it sort of feel like a make or break kind of year for him? He's been the starter now for two years. Is it time for him to take his place as one of the top QBs in the SEC?

Or do you have to look at maybe make it a move going into 2022? I don't know. Yeah, no, I think it's all dependent on what you're asking your quarterback to be. I think in this system, you're not asking your quarterback to be a guy that throws 40 touchdowns. It's just, you know, I think that's the thing that people have to maybe realize a little bit is that you weren't playing in an Alabama system or even the Florida system for this

offense.

And it was probably more along the lines of what we've seen from Georgia quarterback the last

few years where you look up and you go, hey, you don't ask them to do a ton.

And I think you look at it now, the biggest thing for me in Bo Nix is that you can put him now in an offense where he can get to the line of scrimmage and now change a play, make a play call. They could actually read a defense. You know, it's face it under Gus Malzahn. It was basically, if you run the football, run it successfully, then the passing game comes. But if you struggle to run the football, then there weren't a whole lot of options in the passing game. Bo Nix didn't have the option to come to the line of scrimmage and really change a bunch of things. And there was essentially one-person routes for a lot of the time. And so I think you look now, and he's a guy that knows football, I think you let him go play.

The question is, do you have enough wide receivers or wide receiver experience to really take advantage of that?
