Bo Nix falls out of Heisman conversation with loss to Washington in Pac-12 title game

With even an average performance in a win on Friday night, the Heisman Trophy likely would have been wrapped up for Oregon Ducks quarterback Bo Nix. He entered the game as a strong favorite to win the award, and there was a feeling that if he could perform on the big stage and lead his team to a spot in the College Football Playoff, then the bronze hardware would have his name on it.

Unfortunately for Duck fans, that’s not what happened. Nix didn’t play poorly, though his numbers were a bit subpar compared to his standard. But the Ducks’ ultimate 34-31 loss let the air out of the balloon in the Oregon QB’s Heisman case, with LSU QB Jayden Daniels now taking over as the huge favorite to win it next week.
