Oregon analyst: Former Auburn football QB must prove he’s no fluke

Former Auburn football quarterback Bo Nix has to prove that the 2022 season, one in which the Pinson Valley product nearly doubled his prior single-season best in touchdowns (29) and set career highs across all passing efficiency measurements, wasn’t a fluke — this, at least, according to Ducks Wire’s Miles Dwyer.

“Hopefully, Nix will prove that he is the real deal next fall and that last season was not a fluke,” Dwyer wrote.

Of course, the implication that Nix never repeating the gaudiness of last season’s stat totals makes his first Ducks campaign a fluke is an indictment on the three years he spent on the Plains under Gus Malzhan and Bryan Harsin.
