Bo Nix on winning Fiesta Bowl in final game with Oregon: ‘It’s meant the world’

Bo Nix could have opted out of the Fiesta Bowl like several other top players in college football did.

Instead, he chose to play in it and had an incredibly impressive performance.

After trailing 6-3 following the first quarter, Nix and the Ducks let it fly. There was no stopping that freight train as Nix was as dominant as he was all season.

He spoke with ESPN down on the field following the game.

“It’s meant the world,” Nix told sideline reporter Kris Budden about playing with this specific group. “You know, it’s just such a great opportunity for me to be able to come out here and play with such an incredible team. The coaches that we have and the year that we had, you know … I couldn’t wait for this game to get out here and to play one more time. 

“With my college career … I wouldn’t have been here without those guys, so it was the least I could do to show my appreciation.”

Oregon finished the season 12-2. The Ducks had one of the most dominant offenses in college football, led by Nix.
