Beast… great hire

 

[Jake]

He calls a big boy game.

 

[Franz69]

Overall, calls a great game. Only blip I see, second week in a row he mismanaged clock, with a three pass, three and out series. End of the first half, GA Tech should not have had any time, even with the blocked punt.

He calls a big boy game.

Granted he has some solid weapons and a capable QB in McCord, but I wonder if not having to call plays against an NFL defense makes things a lot easier.

 

[hungrychuck]

His son wasn’t bad either.

 

[Sudano]

Major prop, he will be an NFL OC one day.
PS: Who's the ginger with the special book standing and interacting with Fran Brown throughout the game? PhD mathematics savant?

It' didn't bite us but throwing 3 times when we got the ball with 2 minutes left was... something.

 

[hungrychuck]

It seems to be a great marriage of a masterful QB with a wealth of weapons and an OC who knows how to keep a defense on its heels.

I didn’t like the two passes to start our last drive with 2 minutes left in the game but man he’s been great.

 

[anomander]

He and Sean Lewis are similar where they both seem to have a knack of always having a play in their back pocket when you desperately need a 3rd or 4th down conversion.

It's particularly bad knowing Ga Tech would get the ball first in the 2nd half. Can't give them an extra possession to close out the 1st.

IIRC that was the drive OG dropped a first down pass right on the money, I can't fault the OC for that.

OC called a great game! Love the way this offense attacks the defense. We are good there..Clock management has been way better than the Babers years...so lets give credit for that!

 

[orangefog]

GT was confused all game. Too many guys to stop with a masterful QB and a OC that knows now to mix it up. Game ball to Nixon.

 

[Newhouser]

It is so refreshing to see us look like we have a plan of attack. Not sure I can say the same about our D but our O is legit. Only question...OG needs looks and should be on the field every 3rd and seven.

 

[orangefog]

I know it is smarter to play the clock, but anyone that has played golf with me knows, I GO FOR IT. The three point win is nice, but we could have blown out the paper bees.

 

[Archimedes]

The option play on fourth down brought a smile to this fifty-something-year-old football fan.

It was a great, albeit obvious call. I am not a footballologist, but you could see them selling out on the box, all you had to do is create an outside option.

 

[HRE Otto IV]

He has been great.

But the point is, everything they did up to that point got Tech to sell out on the inside game. Allowing that play to work beautifully.

You can also bet they had a check call, that if they were light in the middle to protect the edge, McCord would have handed off to Allen on the dive.

Yes, absolutely. Nixon really called a great game.

 

[FasterCuse]

Loved the first quarter QB sneak that ended up being a pitch outside.

Jeff M’Fin Nixon - GAMEBALL!

Great job today - creative, inspired play calling.

 

[GoSU96]

Like I’ve said, pay the man want at least 3 years with him

Yes, at least 3 years. But, maybe he is cool with being an OC and he can become Fran's trusted OC for a couple decades.
