On the one hand, the numbers don’t look great. Nix completed just over half of his passes (9/17) for 108 yards and 2 touchdowns, and posted a paltry 6.4 yards per attempt. However, Nix received absolutely no help from his pass catchers early in the game. Two drops stand out vividly, being the pass to Newton which should have been a walk-in 25 yard touchdown and a dropped screen to Bigsby which could have sparked a big gain. SEC StatCat shows Bo posted a 75% accuracy rating, and that receivers generated 0 yards on off target passes while costing the team 39 yards on drops.
