The Oregon Ducks have a critical matchup on the slate for Saturday against the Utah Utes, but they may be forced to go to battle without star quarterback Bo Nix. The Heisman hopeful is currently nursing an ankle injury that he sustained during the loss against Washington last week.
According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, the Ducks consider Nix to be a true game-time decision against Utah, and have not ruled out the possibility of starting freshman QB Ty Thompson in his place.
Utah has destroyed Oregon in the trenches the last few games. 1-4 pt road dogs are pretty strong in Pac-12 and Utah was that until the injury news flipped the line.
