Oregon football fans had their hopes for the 2022 season bolstered by the performance of transfer quarterback Bo Nix in the Spring Game.
The transfer portal merry-go-round for quarterbacks this spring landed Auburnās Bo Nix at Oregon.
After three years with the Tigers, Nix entered the transfer portal looking for a new start.Ā Sometimes thatās all a quarterback needs, though his constant ups-and-downs at Auburn have made it hard to project how heāll do in Eugene.
His first chance to show Duck fans what heāll bring to the table came on Saturday during the Spring Game.

Auburn fans, who have spent the last three years in the middle of the Bo NIx experience, weighed in on the showing.
Nix threw for 7,251 yards andĀ 39 touchdowns plus 18 rushing touchdowns during his three years at Auburn. However, he maintained a passer rating of justĀ 126.2.
Oregon has struggled with quarterback play since Justin Herbert left for the NFL. Tyler Shough and Anthony Brown each disappointed in their own ways, failing to put the Ducks over the top.
Itās up to Nix to win the starting job and live up to his perennial āHeisman dark horseā title.
