Let’s face it. Oregon has had a checkered past when it comes to transfer quarterbacks. But after the first half of the 2022 college football season, Bo Nix is on the verge of having a historical season for a Duck quarterback, transfer or no transfer.
The Ducks have had some truly impressive QBs lead the offense in the past couple of decades, and the history books are littered with Heisman hopefuls and NFL draft picks that have put up impressive stats in Eugene. If Nix can keep up the pace that he’s shown through six games, he’ll definitely rank right with some of those great seasons former Oregon signal callers have turned in.
Can you imagine telling yourself that two months ago as we got ready for the 2022 season?
Granted, the second half of the year should be a bit tougher than the first half. The Ducks do have No. 12 UCLA, No. 19 Utah, Washington, California, and a road game in Corvallis to prepare for. And if all goes well, No. 6 USC could be waiting for the Ducks in Las Vegas.
During Oregon’s bye week, we want to take the opportunity to assess the play of the team and see which players are leading them to success. Obviously, it’s hard to look past Bo Nix. So if he were to keep up this level of play throughout the rest of the season, where would that land him in Oregon history? How would his season-long stats stack up against the school’s best?
