Duckdude No. 5 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Bo lost the Heisman when UO lost the UW game. He was the favorite up until that game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penix outplayed him in two games, it's not hard to see how voters could vote him ahead of Bo, I would probably have done the same, I think a lot of Penix' troubles earlier were caused by him playing injured. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDuck No. 8 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I concur. I don't think Nix was REALLY in the lead, even with the Pac12 championship result there is simply too much spread between Daniels and Nix in the final vote. Maybe that was thrown into the rumor mill to try to draw money into the betting pool. I think it is always going to be difficult for a NW player to win. Daniels is within one time zone of 5 of the 6 voter regions. The way that is set up, it favors candidates east of the Mississippi River. Penix joins a list of some noteworthy second place results from the West: Second place from the West 1974 – Anthony Davis 1975 – Chuck Muncie 1976 – Ricky Bell 1982 – John Elway 1983 – Steve Young 1988 – Rodney Peete 1992 – Marshall Faulk 2009 – Toby Gerhart 2010 – Andrew Luck 2011 – Andrew Luck 2015 – Christian McCaffrey 2017 – Bryce Love 2023 – Michael Penix Jr The way this is set up now, I doubt winners like Ty Detmer or Terry Baker could win a vote today without "USC" next to their names. You can't say Nix took away votes from Penix because a lot of Nix votes would have gone to Daniels in a 2-man race. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDuck No. 10 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Winning the Campbell Trophy implies Bo's future career choices will not limited by 120 yds of grass/turf. The two guys who had more Heisman votes were not eligible finalists for that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Heisman should not be determined by 2 games. Bo Nix had the better SEASON statistically than Penix and won the PAC-12 Offensive Player of the Year and was named 1st team PAC-12. The coaches who went up against both players decided that Bo was better this year. Plus, Bo outplayed Penix in the PAC-12 Championship game with a 3-1 TD to interception ratio (vs 1-1). Oregon lost because Washington controlled the line of scrimmage, not because of how Bo played. His one interception was that whacky play were the UW defender came off the sideline. There was no better QB in college football this year and Bo should hold his head up high. The Heisman has been a joke for years. I never watch. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krsmqn No. 13 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Congratulations to Daniels. I can respect the result. At least Bo won the Campbell trophy . Fun fact: You know what team has zero Campbell trophy winners? ... That team up north with all that academic prowess. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRunningDuck No. 14 Share Posted December 10, 2023 All the SEC and LSU fans were saying their three losses shouldn't be the determining factor until Oregon lost the Pac 12 championship game and they suddenly thought the loss should knock Nix out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckhart2 No. 15 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Watched Daniels receive the Heisman and started pondering about D Dixon some. Their games seem similar as dual threats with quickness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
