Saturday afternoon was a pull in case of emergency situation for first-year Auburn football head coach Bryan Harsin. He did it.
Harsin pulled Bo Nix for TJ Finley in the final drive of the third quarter.
Listen, he said he would if this happened. Nix has completed less than half of his passes and just hasn’t looked crisp against a middling Sun Belt team. Heading into Tiger Stadium next weekend, Harsin needs to have his best gun-slinger out there.
And he feels right now that the necessary man under center is the Louisiana native, setting up a juicy narrative for AU’s jaunt to Death Valley to take on LSU.
