Bo Nix reaches milestone Pac-12 Championship

Bo Nix of the Oregon Ducks is set to make history as the first college quarterback to start 60 games.

Bo Nix, the Oregon Ducks quarterback, is making history with his 60th career start, becoming the first college quarterback ever to achieve this milestone. This record-setting feat is due in part to altered eligibility rules in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing Nix to extend his college career.

Nix's journey to this historic moment began with 34 starts in three seasons at Auburn before transferring to Oregon, where he has made 26 starts over the past two campaigns. Interestingly, Nix's first career start with the Tigers came against his future team in the Ducks, adding an extra layer of significance to his accomplishment.

In his 60 starts, Nix has an impressive record of 42-17, with half of those wins coming in his two seasons at Oregon. This season, he is not only making history with his record-setting start but is also a top contender for the Heisman Trophy, making a conference crown and potential College Football Playoff appearance even more significant for his career.

As Nix prepares to face #3 Washington in the Pac-12 title game, the stakes are high for both him and the Oregon Ducks. A win over Washington would solidify their position in the College Football Playoff and further enhance Nix's Heisman Trophy candidacy. The outcome of this game could potentially take Nix's long and winding career to new heights, with the possibility of a playoff match and a Heisman Trophy ceremony on the horizon.
