College football's top honor punctuates the Oregon junior quarterback's list of 2014 accolades, which include the Walter Camp, Davey O'Brien, Maxwell and Johnny Unitas Golden Arm awards.

OK, all of us in the PAC12, Waayyyyyyy over here on the left coast are happy, at least I am (even though daughter graduated from Oregon rival Oregon State).

Mariota and the Oregon Ducks will crush the way over-rated SEC's Alabama Crimson Tide.

National Championship game: Oregon 48 Alabama 17

Alabama is not worried about Oregon. One game at a time and the next one is Ohio State.

RTR!!!

They better step up their game to do so. Jamis throwing picks won’t wash with the Ducks (which he *has* done before).

I am very pleased that Marcos Mariota won. He is a great role model, as compared to so many of the sports so-called superstars. Marcos has class and humility. Go Ducks!

If he carries a clipboard for a couple of years and goes to the AFC he will win a ring.

doesn’t have to go to the AFC...he’s head and shoulders a better Sunday prospect than Russell Wilson...

just needs the proper coaching...

I assume Chubby Chip would kill to have him...not sure if they can pull off a deal.

4 strong contenders for that #1 pick right now.

ain’t gonna happen for the Eagles...of the four strong contenders for that #1 pick three (NY Jets/Tampa Bay/Tennessee Titans) would all jump on Mariota....Jets play Titans tomorrow so it’ll be down to two at most tomorrow evening...

With FSU a 7.5 dog, you can bet your lunch money with a pretty solid cushion.
