aubiefifty 18,398 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Bo Nix takes big jump up Heisman Trophy ranking after Ducks’ 5th-straight win Zachary Neel 4 minutes The buzz is certainly starting to grow for Oregon Ducks quarterback Bo Nix. After yet another impressive performance, this time with 3 rushing touchdowns and a completion percentage that started with an 8 (20-for-25), it’s clear that the former Auburn Tigers’ transfer is having a career best season in Eugene after reuniting with offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham. Whether it’s that relationship, a familiarity with the offense, or a chance to work behind arguably the best offensive line in the nation, Nix is starting to be talked about as he should be — among the best quarterbacks in the nation, statistically speaking. Here are his season statistics so far: 70.4% Comp | 1,526 Yards | 8.2 YPA | 12 TDs | 3 INTs 40 Carries | 331 Yards | 8.3 YPC | 8 TDs That’s not too far behind Ohio State’s CJ Stroud (70.6% Comp, 1,737 Yards, 10.9 YPA, 24 TDs, 3 INTs), and it’s actually comparable than guys like USC’s Caleb Williams (64.9% Comp, 1,590 yards, 14 TD, 1 INT) and Alabama’s Bryce Young (67.2% Comp, 1,202 yards, 14 TD, 3 INT). This blistering start to the season has Nix as a dark-horse candidate for the Heisman Trophy award, and as he continues to put up numbers, we’ve started to see him rise up the rankings.

CoffeeTiger 5,929 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 leaving was good for both bo and Auburn. He's much better off with a team that has a decent Oline and plays in a weak confrence. Auburn is better off in that our best option at QB left so we win fewer games and have a better chance of getting rid of Harsin sooner rather than later. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yngwie1995 2,425 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Nice! Auburn may get its FOURTH Heisman this year! Isn't that how it works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamZero77 1,965 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I watched Oregon vs UCLA today and Bo looked very good. He was like 22-28 passing for 283 yards, 5 touchdowns and 0 int's. The reason I watched was because UCLA was undefeated and Oregon only 1 loss and it was a top 10 matchup. Oregon completely dominated UCLA in every area. I'll be the first to say that Bo Nix, as well as his OC Kenny Dillingham, have impressed me. Dilly's offense at Oregon has some wrinkles of his offense when he was here but he has added things to make it look different. The main thing about Bo is that he doesn't bail from the pocket now that he has a good O-Line and he doesn't turn the ball over. I know the Pac-12 isn't big on defense but Bo Nix looks like the QB we all envisioned him to be here at Auburn. I've screamed as loud as anybody on here about Bo being a bust and he was a diva, etc. I'll also be man enough to admit that Bo made the right choice by leaving Auburn to hook back up with Dilly at Oregon. Dan Lanning has also done a good job, especially being that he is a 1st year coach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottomfeeder 244 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Anyone worth their salt could see the potential Bo had, absent a frontline. Bo ran for his life while at AU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
