Oregon answered a lot of questions in just one play. How would the Ducks respond after falling behind 3-0? Is Bo Nix healthy enough to make plays? Would Chase Cota be able to catch the ball with a hand in a cast?
Answers are, in order: Nicely, yes and oh yes.
Nix found Cota on a 44-yard touchdown catch where he had to wrestle the ball away from a Beaver defender. Oregon took an early 7-3 lead in the first quarter. On the drive, Nix showed he’s a lot more mobile in the pocket than he was last week against Utah, which can only be good news for the Ducks going forward in this game.
