Watch: Bo Nix's Cross-Body Release On 34-Yard Pass To Javonte Williams
Bo Nix's Cross-Body Release
Auburn quarterback Bo Nix is known for his arm strength and mobility, but he also has a knack for making highlight-reel throws. On Saturday against LSU, Nix uncorked a 34-yard pass to running back Javonte Williams that was both impressive and unusual.
Nix was rolling to his left when he spotted Williams running down the sideline. Instead of throwing a traditional over-the-shoulder pass, Nix released the ball with a cross-body motion, sending it over his body and towards Williams. The pass was perfectly placed, and Williams was able to make the catch in stride and take it for a big gain.
The cross-body release is a difficult throw to make, but Nix executed it perfectly. The throw showcases his arm strength, accuracy, and creativity.
Javonte Williams' Big Day
Williams had a big day against LSU, rushing for 109 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries. He also caught two passes for 51 yards, including the 34-yard pass from Nix.
Williams is one of the most versatile players in the SEC, and he is a key part of Auburn's offense. He is a threat to score every time he touches the ball, and he is one of the best running backs in the country.
Auburn's Victory Over LSU
Auburn defeated LSU 24-19 on Saturday, snapping a three-game losing streak to the Tigers. The win was a big one for Auburn, and it keeps the Tigers in contention for the SEC West title.
Auburn's defense played a big role in the win, holding LSU to just 19 points and forcing three turnovers. The offense also did its part, with Nix throwing for 241 yards and two touchdowns.
Auburn is now 6-4 on the season and 3-3 in the SEC. The Tigers will host Mississippi State next Saturday in a key game in the SEC West race.
