Bo Nix must evoke Oregon legend to win Heisman: Analyst
Bo Nix must evoke the achievements of the last Oregon quarterback to win the Heisman Trophy, Marcus Mariota, — which, first and foremost, included a College Football Playoff appearance — in order to achieve to outlast the rest of the college football world’s top signal-callers for the award in 2023 according to KGW’s Andy Patton.
“Nix will not only have to put up absolutely elite numbers to outlast Williams, Penix and the rest, but the Ducks likely need to secure a spot in the CFP for Nix to garner any serious consideration, much like they did in 2014 the last time an Oregon quarterback, Marcus Mariota, took home the hardware,” Patton wrote.
