100% the reason for pass focus is the complexity of pass vs run along with our depleted DL and some of the other factors of a solid passing game. I love what we saw.

Umm, nope! I want the guy who had an interception on broken play by his WR's and threw for 200+ on 8 completions and it's not even close. Kid moves the chains.

Well, personally have him pegged with a better completion percentage (like +5%) than the crap offense at Auburn (we'll play faster & fast play is a QB's friend) so that's a big feather in his cap. However, what he does have is a.) a solid OL assuming no health issues b.) Outside of Bama, LSU and Georgia, not a huge delta with the D's . Personally, don't think the crowds play into it at all.

The only issue with NIX is when he throws off platform. Which, unfortunately, he's had to do a lot with Auburns OL flaws. When throwing on-platform he's solid. As for what's been happening in practices, Nix is consistent, and good but not necessarily electric. Thompson is inconsistent but when he's on, he's a superstar... I'm guessing he hangs in there as QB2 and Butterfield is gone after spring.

He's a walk-on. With the NIL, walk-ons now get compensation. He doesn't count against the numbers as a walk-on. I'd imagine we grab an OL and another DB out of the portal after spring but that could change depending upon who we lose to the portal as well.

If everyone stays healthy this is a fair estimate of their offensive ability this season. However, no team ever stays healthy and if Williams has to run as much as I expect, the depth on the OL and QB will likely rear it's head mid-season. I'd have concerns about QB and OL depth which could well impact them down the road. They ware woefully thin beyond the starters and October is when their schedule amps up.
