It was a big week for Oregon and quarterback Bo Nix as the Ducks upended a ranked BYU. In the process, Oregon’s shaky start to the season with that stinging loss to Georgia now seems like a distant memory.
And Nix received a lot of praise for his strong game against BYU, including being named the Maxwell Award’s Player of the Week. The Oregon quarterback also headlines the Maxwell Award Weekly Honor Roll for his standout performance against a very good BYU.
Also joining Nix on the weekly honor roll is Brock Bowers, the tight end from Georgia. The Bulldogs vaulted to the top spot in the USA TODAY Sports coaches poll this week.
The Maxwell Football Club awards the Maxwell Award, annually given to the nation’s top college football player. They also hand out the Chuck Bednarik Award for the top defensive player in college football.
Every March, the club hosts an annual awards gala at the Harrah’s in Atlantic City, N.J.
