Last week we saw Oregon Ducks’ quarterback Bo Nix really solidify himself among the contenders in the race for the Heisman Trophy with a 5 touchdown performance against the UCLA Bruins in the biggest win of the season. It proved that Nix’s career year in Eugene was more than just a result of playing subpar opponents, and forced national media members to pay attention to what was taking place up in the Pacific Northwest.
This past Saturday against the California Golden Bears, Nix only strengthened his resume. In a 42-24 win on the road, Nix racked up 6 TD with over 570 yards of total offense. He threw for 412 yards and 3 TD while adding 59 yards and 3 TD on the ground.
On Saturday night, we took a look at how this performance compared with the likes of the other Heisman contenders. Spoiler alert: it was among the best of Week 8.
Now we want to see where Nix’s odds to win the prestigious award have settled after the big game. Here’s a look at the latest numbers according to Tipico.
