Bo Nix's wife, Izzy, took a nostalgic stroll down memory lane, reminiscing about the Fiesta Bowl game. She posted a heartfelt farewell Instagram post featuring a cinematic recap of the Oregon Ducks' final team meeting in the Pac-12, led by coach Dan Lanning. She captioned the post, "last one, best one."
Record-setting quarterback Bo Nix was seated in the front row, attentively absorbing Lanning's insights ahead of the Fiesta Bowl clash against the No. 18 Liberty Flames.
The Fiesta Bowl turned out to be a spectacular finale for Bo Nix's career at Oregon. Nix showed why he was a Heisman finalist by throwing for 363 yards and five touchdowns, leading the No. 8 Oregon Ducks to a 45-6 victory over Liberty.
Despite falling short of College Football Playoff contention, the Fiesta Bowl triumph marked a significant achievement and a fitting conclusion to Nix's impressive collegiate career, which started at Auburn. Reflecting on his performance, Nix said:
“I have played a lot of football, but every time I went out there it slowed down more and more. And by the end of it, I just had a really comfortable feeling. I think this year with what we were doing offensively, schematically, we were very efficient.”
