Bo Nix, Tysheem Johnson named Pac-12 Players of the Week
Bo Nix and Tysheem Johnson were both named players of the week in the Pac-12 after helping Oregon to a win.
Bo Nix was named the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week on Monday after he led Oregon to a 35-6 win at then-No. 13 Utah. He completed 24-of-31 passes for 248 yards and 2 touchdowns, while he also added 8 rushing yards and 1 touchdown on 4 carries.
This was his second time winning this award in 2023. It is also Nix’s fifth Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week selection, tying him with Marcus Mariota for most all-time in Oregon history.

Tysheem Johnson was also named the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week.
Johnson was one of the main catalysts in helping the Ducks defense hold the Utah offense to just 6 points on Saturday. Johnson reeled in 2 interceptions in the game Saturday, and he was the first Duck defender with multiple interceptions in a game since Nov. 19, 2022.
Johnson is the first Duck defender in 2023 to earn this honor, and it’s only the second time this season that a team has taken home both the Offensive and Defensive Player of the Week awards in the same week.
