The Colorado Buffaloes have been the talk of the town lately, capturing the attention of the entire nation under the guidance of their coach, Deion "Coach Sanders" Prime. However, they were no match for the exceptional performance of quarterback Bo Nix and his Oregon Ducks.

Nix, who has been considered a potential early-round draft prospect in both the previous and upcoming drafts, truly shined in this game. Since his move to Oregon, he has continued to redefine his narrative and prove his worth.

His outstanding performance was evident as Oregon dominated Colorado, securing a resounding 42-6 victory.
