QUARTERBACK
Who's back: The Pac-12 Conference returns an elite lineup of veteran quarterbacks for the 2023 season, and the Ducks boast a headliner of their own in senior Bo Nix. In his first year quarterbacking the UO football team last fall, Nix led the Pac-12 with an Oregon-record completion rate of 71.9 percent, and his 8.24 yards per play of total offense also led the conference. On his way to completing 294-of-409 passes for 3,593 yards and 29 touchdowns, Nix had the Ducks in the thick of the College Football Playoff race and was drawing Heisman Trophy buzz entering November.
