DECISION2019 began with four candidates vying for the coveted job of being Auburn’s starting quarterback in 2019. Following spring practice, Gus Malzhan cut the competition to two: Joey Gatewood and Bo Nix. Heading into fall camp there was a lot of #Greatwood buzz but things changed after the first scrimmage. Nix reportedly threw three picks (two were drops by wide receivers) but also lead scoring drives. Gatewood didn’t turn the ball over but he didn't score either. After that practice, it felt like maybe things were tipping Nix’s way.
That buzz continued into the following week and Auburn’s 2nd scrimmage.
