Oregon quarterback Bo Nix is having his Heisman Trophy moment vs. UCLA to the shock of Auburn and college football fans everywhere.
It has come as quite a shock to Auburn and college football fans around the globe that Bo Nix is absolutely thriving as the Oregon Ducks quarterback vs. undefeated UCLA in Saturday’s big game.
The former legacy quarterback from The Plains has headed due northwest to totally redeem himself. In a game where ESPN chose you before kicking it over to FOX, toga parties in the A.M. were to be had for all involved. For the first time in his young life, Nix has lived up to the hype, as his Ducks are clobbering Chip Kelly in the Chip Kelly Bowl without the help of said Liquid Sunshine.
No. 10 Oregon might actually be the best one-loss team in the country, and not No. 6 Alabama…
“We’re not losing to Georgia because we don’t know if we’re gonna to play them yet, so quit askin’!” – Nick Saban probably after Alabama escapes Vaught-Hemingway with a win over Ole Miss in a few weeks.
Soft as Charmin UCLA Bruins are no match for noted former TP thrower Bo Nix
This was a guy whose best trait was having the same last name as his father Patrick while at Auburn. Now, he’s slinging the pill like an undergrad at the corner of College and Magnolia with some two-play against another soft as Charmin UCLA team. Is it the baby blue or it is the fact that third-capacity crowds at the Rose Bowl have done a number to your reputation in college football?

Since getting slobberknockered vs. Georgia in Atlanta over Labor Day Weekend, Nix and the Ducks have been playing like their hair is on fire. Even with one loss on the season, if they run the gauntlet to win the Pac-12, that might be good enough for their first playoff appearance since Marcus Mariota won the Heisman Trophy. Guess who is also starting to play well this season???
Y’all owe Bo Nix an apology #GoDucks

How did Auburn get next to nothing out of Bo Nix?

Bo Nix is playing no games

Clearly, Dan Lanning is a man with a plan. This isn’t some Joey from Friends Matt LeBlanc canceled Netflix nonsense. These ducks fly together, son! It is like watching Gordon Bombay go from glorified Minneapolis babysitter to the greatest hockey coach since Herb Brooks. Some people were born to be hockey players, while others were born to let it fly like supermarket Junior Floyd.
HOLY CRAP BO NIX IS PLAYING WELL

Bo Nix is having more fun than your favorite QB

Let’s be real. The moment you realized women’s basketball GOAT Sabrina Ionescu was going to be the guest picker on ESPN’s College GameDay, you should have bet your 401k on the Ducks. She was there, Pat McAfee was there and Lee Corso was there. After dunking on Warshington, LC got to hang out with his best buddy Puddles, hopefully, for not the last time. T’was a magical moment.
Take some of those winnings from your 401k and bet it on Nix for the Heisman because Bo knows.
