WATCH: Oregon’s Bo Nix Accidentally Nails Ref With Football During Pac-12 Title Game

Oregon quarterback Bo Nix has quite an arm, and on Friday night, one unlucky referee was on the receiving end of it.

In the first half of the Pac-12 Championship between Oregon and Washington in Las Vegas, Nix threw towards wide receiver Troy Franklin, but the ball ended up hurtling straight towards a referee. The ref tried his best to jump out of the way; with his quick reflexes, the ball then hit him in the arm instead of square in the chest.

Fox posted the video of the collision on X (formerly known as Twitter), including an angle from a camera on the referee's hat.

Nix, a transfer from Auburn in his second year with the Ducks, is considered one of the best college quarterbacks in the country and is expected to be a Heisman finalist. Heisman ballots opened on November 27; finalists will be announced on December 4, with the winner announced on December 9.

Nix, a fifth-year senior, struggled to get things going in the game against the Huskies, going 12-19 in the first half, getting a the Ducks' first touchdown with seconds remaining in the half. Washington went into the locker room at halftime with the 20-10 lead, led by quarterback Michael Penix Jr., another Heisman frontrunner.

The Pac-12 conference championship was a rematch of the thrilling rivalry matchup earlier this season, when Washington beat Oregon 36-33 after the Ducks missed a last-second field goal in an instant classic.
