Nixon's Career Night Not Enough For Cajuns Against A-State

[Cajunrunner]

Hopefully, this was a good learning experience for Nixon. I did like the fight and the courage to keep making plays in the passing game after the interceptions.

This.

It's not Nixon's fault we're using him at QB with his limited passing abilities. He's doing what he can, which to be honest, is more along the lines of using his running abilities. He did run for 200 yards as a QB, which is quite impressive. He was by far our most effective option on the ground game.

Problem is, when you fall behind by two and three TDs and need to start rallying, you've got to at least have a THREAT of a passing game. He just can't give us that.

Well at least HUD got his production.... Career night and it gets us destroyed... Can't wait for a mediocre performance... That should be pleasant

The questions I have are ...

Does Nixon have to be the first person to touch the ball after the snap in order to be effective running?

If McGuire's numbers fall through the floor and Nixon's go through the roof have we gained anything?

Can this offense utilize an additional strength?

I hope he doesn't have many more career nights like that one!

very funny!

turbine, do you have any "...in his __ year, frank beamer..." aphorisms that could help? that is one bad looking team I watched last nite.

We can blame play calling all we want, but starting out 2 for 17 with a pick 6 is what cost us the game.

Forever you have backed Haack and dumped on everything Nixon does---but some things I think need to be pointed out---who is the better leader, who is the better runner, and who is the better passer??? Well it turns out that Nixon's pass efficiency is 117 and Haack's is 107----Come on man, both are good kids but Haack has had 3-4 years to separate if he were that much better, but hasn't!!! and even in previous years, he hasn't shown himself to be the better QB!!! Hud is a former QB and has dealt with the passing game for his entire coaching career and I guarantee that he is playing the guys that can get the wins----Read his article today in that he missed some throws but that there were busted routes and slips that would have been completions---Another thing I think fans are missing is that if he weren't the QB he wouldn't have the rushing numbers that he does have---look at McGuire's numbers as a pure running back, but he adds that valuable asset of the running QB like Ark St has!!!

2-17 for minus 1 yard and a pick 6... I guess our pass plays call for the WR to be laying on the turf about 15 yards somewhere else from where they are... Because that's where the ball was

I don't care how you spin this....

That was the worst QB performance that I've witnessed with my own eyes.....worst than what Mike Vick is doing in Pitt.

Congrats on the "Career" night.

We may be the only team in America that has ZERO slant routes.
We may be the only team in America that has a 1 yard out route in every package


WE FUGGGGIN SUCK AND IT'S BRUTAL TO WATCH

Thanks for once again proving my point.

Oh for fricks sake. We've had worse by own QBs in our own stadium.

[Zeebart21]

It's not Nixon's fault our coaches are asking a running back to play quarterback.

Correct. Kid is a dynamite athlete put in a bad situation

Passing wise? Name it..
