Bo Nix and No. 6 Oregon got off to a hot start in the desert on Saturday, demolishing Arizona State on the road.
For Nix, the performance was one good enough to put one hand on the Heisman Trophy. Heading into the day, Nix was already the favorite to win the award, but with six touchdown passes in the first half alone against the Sun Devils, he put an exclamation point on his player résumé.
Nix completed 24 of his 29 passes on the day, throwing for 404 yards and six touchdowns. The six passing touchdowns tied an Oregon all-time record and was a career high for Nix.
