It's all coach speak...if Hud says 3 man, he does so to push the other two (AJ and JD)...Nixon has to get his reps in to stay sharp, for now. Hud's too smart of a coach to repeat last years mistake. I do it all the time as a manager to motivate. Sooner or later, the top guys get the message and respond.
My spin:
There is no "qb battle." They are trying to get every ounce of effort out of Davis to keep him "game ready" if and when needed due to injuries, blowouts, prep for next year, etc. and they are keeping Jennings humble and making him eat the playbook every night thinking "what if" I don't get my head wrapped around this playbook in time for the start of the season?? They keep mentioning Nixon because he is in play here. He will be in the wildcat on special packages.
Chillax guys...Coach speak this time is more for competition than anything. Media will spin it and make it look similar to last year......NOT THE CASE
Dion Ray will be in this article next year when the battle is between Jordan Davis, Ray, and probably a player to be named later. He will be given every chance to compete here because that's why he signed here over number P5 schools. He didn't want to play defense and we said that he'd have a legitimate shot at QB. He'll be a Soph. next year and I think he's got just as good of a chance as Davis to take the reigns. He's 6-0 200lbs which isn't that bad, he'll probably add a few more pounds to that frame.
If he gets beat out again next year, I see him transferring unfortunately. He's WAY TOO GOOD of an athlete to not play in some capacity.
