A well-known fact among Duck fans, or any college football fans in general, is that Oregon quarterback Bo Nix is fast.
Maybe not quite Dennis Dixon or Marcus Mariota fast, but the boy’s got wheels.
And thank God for that!
Oregon came from behind on another clutch performance by Bo to win 38-30 in a battle in Lubbock.
Nix was 32-of-44 for 359 yards and two touchdowns, earning himself Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week. Further impressive stats by the underrated and underappreciated (at least in the national media) signal caller.
But what won’t necessarily show up on the stat sheet was the number of times Nix was flushed from the pocket, the number of times he had a man on his heels, the number of times he had to use that impressive speed of his for an escape act.
