Pennsylvania Duck Moderator No. 2 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Oregon Quarterback Bo Nix Emerges As Heisman Trophy Candidate, NFL Draft Prospect So far this year, the Ducks are showing they’re more than just a hype-filled program. They are 4-0 and ranked ninth in the Associated Press poll following last Saturday’s 42-6 victory over Colorado, a previously undefeated team that had been the talk of college football thanks to flamboyant coach Deion Sanders. Nix ranks second in Division 1 with a 79.4% completion percentage and 12th with a 180.5 passing efficiency rating. He has thrown for 1,169 yards with 11 touchdowns and one interceptions...

Just Ducky No. 3 Share Posted September 27, 2023 It’s easy to see that if one of the four top pack QBs goes undefeated, which in my mind will be extremely difficult, means that guy has gone thru a tougher schedule than the others and should win the Heisman going away. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marsh No. 4 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I feel like Oregons balanced offense is hurting Nix so far... he isn't asked to throw it as much because Oregon has a good run game so he doesn't put up the same stats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everyone stays healthy, we’re going to see head-to-head matchups btwn all of these QBs. I think those performances will go a long way in influencing Heisman voters. Williams, Ward, and Penix are surely going to attempt to put up bigger numbers, but Nix _should_ perform better for the wins. Also, the Duck D _should_ make them all look bad. Shedeur was in the Heisman running, but no one watching him last weekend would say he was the best player on the field, let alone the country. I can’t wait! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Lanning and Stein will set up Bo for 300 plus yards against the Fuskies. Add 200 yards rushing and BOOM!! Plus at least 1 turnover for a TD. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1Ducker1 No. 8 Share Posted September 28, 2023 If The Ducks beat Washington, USC and Utah I would say Bo has a good to better chance than anyone to win the Heisman. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDuck Moderator No. 9 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Bo Nix Heisman Trophy odds skyrocket after win over Colorado Buffs We knew that the Oregon Ducks were going to have a big opportunity last weekend with a national audience tuning in to their marquee matchup with the Colorado Buffaloes on ABC. In particular, it was QB Bo Nix who could do the most with the opportunity, putting on a good performance in order to move up in the Heisman Trophy race. That’s just what Nix did, throwing for 276 yards with 4 total TDs in a 42-6 win in front of an audience of 10.03 million viewers. Unsurprisingly, Nix’s Heisman odds seemed to have jumped drastically.
