Where Bo Nix stands in the 2022 Heisman race heading into final week of regular season
If the Heisman Trophy were given to players who display the most heart, then there are few people that would argue against the notion that Oregon Ducks’ quarterback Bo Nix had his ‘Heisman Moment’ on Saturday night in a win against the No. 10 Utah Utes.
Listed as a game-time decision heading into the matchup with an ankle injury, Nix toughed it out and was hobbled throughout the game. Despite that, he put together an impressive performance and was able to lead the Ducks past the Utes, keeping Oregon’s Pac-12 Championship hopes alive.
Of course, the award is largely based on stats, not heart. While Nix wasn’t able to put up the jaw-dropping stats against Utah that we’ve grown used to — he had 287 passing yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT — it didn’t completely drop him out of the Heisman race. With one week left in the regular season, and a potential appearance in the Pac-12 Championship Game, there is still time left for Nix to have a Heisman moment and get that invite to New York at the end of the season.
Let’s take a look at where his betting odds currently stand going into the final week, according to Tipico.
