Nix has 4 TDs and No. 6 Ducks get closer to the Pac-12 title game with 36-27 win over USC

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:04:20 GMT

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — While quarterback Bo Nix believes No. 6 Oregon’s offense is among the nation’s best, he’s still wary of this final stretch of the season. Nix threw for 412 yards and four touchdowns and No. 6 Oregon held off a late USC rally for a 36-27 victory on Saturday night, effectively eliminating the Trojans from contention for the Pac-12 championship game. “I just think we’re still putting things out there to where we can be even better,” Nix said. “I think that’s the part that keeps you coming back on Monday and making you go back for another week, because we know we’re not there yet. One of my biggest fears is that we’ll become complacent. So we just have to do a really good job of finding ways to grow.”Tez Johnson caught seven passes for 126 yards and two scores, and Oregon racked up 552 yards in total offense. It was the fourth straight win for the Ducks (9-1, 6-1 Pac-12, No. 6 CFP), who are undefeated at home. Caleb Williams ...
