Bo Nix is more than a transplant. There is a refreshing freedom to suddenly being able to change any play. He is a husband (married in July). There is serendipity to a career that started with a win against Oregon (2019 season opener) but ended at Auburn last November with a broken leg.

It's a career that is restarting -- not exactly out of the public eye but -- out of the way in the Pacific Northwest. Seven games in, and especially after Saturday, anything seems possible.
