The fifth-year senior quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate isn't afraid to ask the tough questions.
and several others already entered the chat. Yet none of those players arrived at a school with this particular kettlebell of generational expectation slung around their necks: Nix was a five-star recruit, a son of former Auburn quarterback Patrick Nix and anMr. Football who set a state record with 12,497 yards of total offense at Pinson Valley High.
His breakthrough in 2022 permits everyone to say the quiet part out loud: Being a scion of an Auburn quarterback, and then starting at Auburn from Day One, can maybe be too much in the end. “You’re an 18-year-old who’s supposed to be the savior of an SEC program,” sayscoach Kenny Dilligham, who coached Nix at Auburn and then in 2022 as offensive coordinator at Oregon. “And I think that got to him a little bit, in terms of him trying to be somebody he wasn’t as a person at times.
“If your quarterback understands the weakness of a play, and can get you into another play that’s successful, or be able to take advantage of the defense — that’s to me the secret sauce,” Oregon coach Dan Lanning says. “ can make a business decision to say, ‘OK, they’ve got a good call here, let me get us in our most advantageous call.’ It might not be a winner. But he’s going to make sure it’s not a loss. Really, playing good quarterback is about understanding how not to take losses.
“I won’t say it was intense,” Stein says now, “but he was asking legitimate, professional-level questions.” It was a purposeful first step in Nix’s well-rehearsed process for grasping a new play-caller and new system as quickly as possible.“Ask tough questions, ask the ‘why’ questions,” Nix says. “You’ve had success. So teach me what you want out of me, and what you want to see out of our offense. Once they teach me, I think I can put it to use and go do it.
