Auburn Football: 3 reasons Tigers will upset Georgia in Week 6

1. The leader of the pack: Bo “Houdini” Nix

To many of us, Bo Nix will forever be known as Houdini — or Boudini as I like to call him. He did what no other Auburn quarterback had done in 22 years. Finally, he got a win in Baton Rouge for the first time since 1999. And no doubt did they party like it’s 1999.

Nix finished 24-for-44 with 255 yards passing. 74 rushing yards, and two touchdowns. It was a struggle most of the game due to the lack of holding by the offensive line. Which caused him to run, scramble, and make some of the craziest passes of his career. But just like in true Houdini fashion the magic was in the air.

He is coming into the game with 979 yards and six touchdowns with an almost 60 percent completion rate. He will get his 1,000th passing yard early in this matchup. Georgia owns the deep souths oldest rivalry in wins but Bo is going to take one of the notches off that belt.

What Bo Nix did last week against LSU is only going to be a taste of what we will see. Each game out he is more focused and more confident than before. He is having fun doing what he loves and just being great at it. Georgia will be no exception. It’s not about who they play, it’s about how they play the game. They know what they have to do to win, where to improve, and how to get better and better each and every game.

The shock and surprise will continue for a second week in a row. And being at home in Jordan-Hare Stadium is exactly what Auburn needs. The crowd will be insanely loud with the most passionate fans in the nation. Giving the No.18 ranked Auburn football team the boost it needs to upset No. 2 Georgia in the Tigers’ own house. Don’t miss one of the biggest rivalries in sports. Tune in on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS. You won’t want to pass on this one.
