Washington’s Alex Cook on Oregon fans reacting to 2022 Bo Nix hit: ‘They cry and complain about everything’

Last year, Bo Nix left the game between Washington and Oregon due to an injury he suffered on a hit by Huskies defensive back Alex Cook. Nix ended up coming back for the final drive, but Cook heard from Ducks fans about the hit.

Friday, ahead of the rematch between Oregon and Washington, Cook addressed the reaction from the Ducks faithful.

Cook joined Dave “Softy” Mahler on 93.3 KJR-FM and addressed the play. He pointed out where he hit Nix and said he did as much as he could to stay low. Then, he shared his thoughts about Oregon fans who responded to the play.

“Yeah, and they’ve been like you just said. ‘That was a dirty hit,’ ‘You could’ve hit him differently.’ Like, what did you want me to do? I hit him as low as humanly possible,” Cook said. “There was no other place on the body where I could’ve hit him that would’ve made you feel any better. I don’t know — just because he had to come out [of] the game for injury, they considered it a dirty hit. Like, it’s football.

“That’s the thing about Oregon fans. When things don’t go their way, they cry and complain about everything and blame the world. That’s what you get.”
