Bo Nix Reveals The One Thing He Misses About Playing At Auburn

Published|Updated

Bo Nix misses enjoying a great chicken sandwich from Chick-fil-A.

The dual-threat QB spent the first three years of his college career playing at Auburn in the SEC before transferring to Oregon.

What does he miss? There's no Chick-fil-A in Eugene, and that means Nix has to settle for eating lots of Chipotle.

Chick-fil-A isn't just a restaurant. For many people, it's a lifestyle. Being a Chick-fil-A fan is about the same as being a football fan.

It's just ingrained in your DNA if you come from the south. Why? It's impossible to say for sure, but it's simply reality.

Now, Nix is slinging it up in Eugene, and it doesn't take an expert to figure out the food in Oregon doesn't stack up to the food in Alabama or just about anywhere else in SEC country.

However, a lack of Chick-fil-A hasn't apparently ruined Nix's game. Through three games, Nix has the best completion percentage of his career by nearly 10 points, has a TD:INT ratio of 3.5/1 and has the Ducks sitting at 2-1.

Yes, the blowout loss to Georgia was brutal, but outside of that Nix has been doing well. Chipotle seems to be getting the job done just fine.
