Justin Ferguson from The Auburn Observer stops by to chat about Oregon’s new quarterback Bo Nix and how he fits in Kenny Dillingham’s offense.
Justin Ferguson covered Bo Nix’s high school and Auburn careers. He also runs a pretty great Substack — The Auburn Observer. With Nix, a three-year starter at Auburn, transferring to Oregon on Sunday, Justin stopped by to talk about Nix, new offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham and how Oregon’s coaching search registered in the land of the SEC.

“The departure and the decision to leave was tough, but I think what Bo was trying to do — and I think he’s finding that in Oregon — is he wants to have one really good season, win some games, get some attention and then go off to the league.
“At Auburn right now, they’re going to have to get a lot of things right in order to have a good season in 2022. It’s roster transition and a really tough schedule. I think in Oregon he’s got a fresh start. He’s got a similar face with Kenny Dillingham as OC, and the talent level at Oregon compared to the talent level in the rest of the Pac-12 means you’re always going to have a chance to put up some numbers.”
