It wasn’t the main goal going into the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl for Bo Nix and the Oregon Ducks, but a record was certainly a potential bonus when the veteran quarterback decided to play one last game in an Oregon uniform.
Bo Nix has officially broken the record for single-season completion percentage, breaking the mark set by Alabama Crimson Tide QB Mac Jones in 2020. Jones set the record at 77.36%.
In the Fiesta Bowl against the Liberty Flames, Nix completed 28-of-35 passes for 363 yards and 5 touchdowns. This brought him up to 364-for-470 on the season, a completion percentage of 77.45%.
Coming into the game, Nix was at 77.2%, right behind Jones.
The record looked in doubt early. Nix completed 4 of his first 7 passes, and 7 of his first 11, thanks to some uncharacteristic drops from the receivers. In the second quarter, Nix turned it around and ultimately broke the record.
