The touchdown put the Ducks up 35-10 in the third quarter. Oregon dominated for most of Saturday’s game and they now sit at 8-1 overall for the 2022 season. They never had any problems with Colorado and won in a beatdown, 49-10.

The dynamic dual-threat finished the day with over 300 all-purpose yards and five total touchdowns. Much like many other teams across the country this season, the Colorado Buffaloes could simply find no answer on defense for Bo Nix. His five touchdowns against Colorado pushed his season total to 36 touchdowns during the 2022 season–ranking him first in the country.
Oregon has now rattled off eight straight victories since they were completely humiliated by the Georgia Bulldogs in Week 1, 49-3. Next up, they’ll face the Washington Huskies on Saturday, Nov. 12. One of the starting safeties for the Ducks, Jamal Hill, will have to miss the first half. He was ejected in the third quarter of the Colorado game for targeting.
