In an interview with ESPN\u2019s Sportscenter, Nix was asked where his success comes from. He replied without hesitation, \u201cWell, that one\u2019s easy to me. It\u2019s all about, you know, the Lord\u2019s timing in my life. It\u2019s been a huge God moment. It\u2019s been a huge God story for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nix continued, \u201cYou know, I just kept to the plan and kept faith, and you know, ultimately, He put me where I needed to be at the right time. And I had a great time at Auburn, and I learned a lot. And I graduated from there, and it was a great experience. Then, I had the opportunity to transfer to Oregon, which has been an awesome experience. You know, I wouldn\u2019t trade it for the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nix\u2019s name has been circulated as a potential Heisman trophy recipient. He knows it\u2019s a tremendous honor, but he\u2019s staying focused on the National Championship. He said, \u201cIt\u2019s crazy. You know, it\u2019s something that I\u2019ve always dreamed about, you know, with it being, you know, the situation, it\u2019s gotten crazier and crazier as the years gone on. But I know there\u2019s a bunch of guys out there that are definitely worthy of the award. So, you know, it\u2019s a huge honor, but at the same time, we got to keep the main thing the main thing and make sure that we are prepared and ready for Friday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ddgeXlcz5I8?si=VXC25U1sIEs8Hc83\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Another blessing from Nix\u2019s time with the Ducks is that he gets to play with his adopted brother, Tez Johnson. Johnson is a wide receiver for the team and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/college-football\/player\/_\/id\/4608810\/tez-johnson\">currently<\/a>\u00a0has 70 catches, 943 receiving yards, and nine touchdowns. Nix said of the opportunity to play with his brother, \u201cIt\u2019s been almost like a movie. You know, it\u2019s something that I never really thought would come back around. You know, we played together in high school, and to have the opportunity to play again with him in college has been a dream come true.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nix was recently announced the winner along with the rest of the league\u2019s Player of the Week honors during a press release by the Pac-12 Conference. Nix led the Ducks to their fifth straight by beating Arizona State 49-13 down in Tempe. The Ducks scored on their first six offensive possessions of the game, while Nix finished with 404 yards passing and six passing touchdowns, and he completed 82.8 percent of his throws in the game.<\/p>\n<p>Oregon head coach Dan Lanning\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/247sports.com\/college\/oregon\/article\/oregon-ducks-footabll-bo-nix-220910910\/\">said<\/a>, \u201cObviously, I have an opinion about our quarterback, but it\u2019s pretty hard to say he\u2019s not the best quarterback in the nation. Throws for six touchdowns, ties a record for Oregon football, goes over 400 yards and only played one series in the second half. We all know what it could\u2019ve looked like.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oregon football quarterback Bo Nix recently thanked God for his success throughout his time with the Ducks.
