How Bo Nix’s Week 11 stats compare to other Heisman Trophy contenders
After the Oregon Ducks lost their second game of the year on Saturday, this time to the Washington Huskies in brutal fashion at Autzen Stadium, it seems likely that quarterback Bo Nix isn’t going to be getting the same Heisman Trophy buzz that he has in recent weeks.
The award generally goes to one of the best players — typically the quarterback — of one of the College Football Playoff teams at the end of the year. With Oregon now out of the CFP race, it stands to reason that Nix will no longer be in that conversation for the prestigious award each and every week.
That’s not for a lack of putting up numbers that are worthy of consideration, though. We want to make sure to try and keep everyone honest as the season comes to an end, keeping tabs of the numbers that Nix puts up and comparing them to other Heisman contenders. Here’s how he fared this past week:
