Legend of Bo Nix Begins in Auburn's Improbable Comeback Win over Oregon

Brace yourself for the next several years of "Bo knows football" tweets, because AP No. 16 Auburn's true-freshman quarterback, Bo Nix, showed something special in Saturday night's 27-21 come-from-behind victory over No. 11 Oregon in Arlington, Texas.

Earlier in the week, Tim Tebow said on ESPN that God made Nix for Gus Malzahn's offense.

Divine intervention might be the best explanation for how Auburn got this crucial victory—somewhat salvaging a dreadful opening weekend for the SEC.

Oregon should have won in blowout fashion. The Ducks scored touchdowns on two of their first three drives and would've gone 3-of-3 if not for Bryan Addison's dropped pass, which hit him square in the chest in the back of the end zone.
