Marcus Mariota: Don’t Sleep On His Historic Season

In case you didn’t stay up Saturday night, it was another ho-hum performance for Oregon’s Marcus Mariota in a 51-27 shellacking of Utah: 17-of-29, 239 yards, three touchdown passes, 114 yards rushing and a rushing TD.

He threw one of the best three-yard touchdown passes you’ll ever see, but before we take a look at that pass, let’s review the incredible season he’s having. There’s a sense that with Heisman candidates Trevone Boykin running circles around a very good Kansas State defense, Amari Cooper catching everything thrown at him, Dak Prescott leading the No. 1 Mississippi State team, and J.T. Barrett making people forget about Braxton Miller (oh no he dih’n’t), Mariota is getting lost in the shuffle.

It also doesn’t help that five of his games have started after 10 p.m. Eastern Time, a couple on weeknights. (Even for me, a guy who turned the TV on at 10 a.m., toggled between ESPN GameDay and English Premier League, and then watched 12 consecutive hours of college football, the eyelids got heavy by the second half of the Oregon-Utah matchup.)

Here’s a rundown of the otherworldly stats Mariota is putting up this season:

• Most total touchdowns – 37 (3 ahead of Barrett); 29 passing TDs, 8 rushing TDs.
• Most yards per play – 9.0 (Prescott is second at 7.9).
• Most yards per pass attempt – 10.0.
• Most adjusted yards per pass attempt [(Yds + 20 * TD - 45 * Int) / Att] – 11.98, which is second all-time, better than the Heisman years of Robert Griffin III (11.85) or late-game performer Jameis Winston (11.54).
• Highest Passer Rating – 184.6 (almost 12 points higher than second, J.T. Barrett at 172.9).
• Don’t like Passer Rating? He’s first in ESPN’s Total QB Rating, and leads the most efficient offense in the country according to Football Outsiders’ Fremau Efficiency Index (FEI), which measures how efficient a team’s drives are.
• Second in total yards (3,304) behind Washington State QB Connor Halliday (3,873), who leads Mike Leach’s Air Raid offense and probably throws passes in his sleep. Unfortunately for Halliday, he broke his tibia and fibula November 1 against USC, so Mariota will likely finish first in total yardage.
• First in TD/INT ratio at 29/2, and those two interceptions are tied for second-fewest picks in the country among qualifiers. He’s also second in PA/INT, just behind USC’s Cody Kessler, who also has 2 interceptions with 20 more pass attempts (297 to 277).

Mariota has two regular season games left: at home against woeful Colorado, and then at Oregon State in the 118th Civil War. The battle for the Platypus Trophy can sometimes be unpredictable; in last year’s edition, it took a Mariota TD pass with 29 seconds left to give the Ducks (12-2) a 36-35 win and hand the Beavers (6-6) their sixth straight loss in the rivalry. This year, OSU is just 4-5 and has lost their last four games.

There are finely-tuned machines that are jealous of Mariota’s metronomic consistency. He’s thrown a touchdown in 36 consecutive games. If he continues his stellar play in his final two regular-season contests, and in the Pac-12 championship game, the only thing that could put his Heisman Trophy candidacy in doubt is East Coast voters falling asleep before his games end.

Mariota also plays in a much better conference than Gordon

Breh if you have to ask, then I don't fukking care about your opinion. Jesus, just look at dudes numbers, and if you have to just look at dudes numbers you have not watched many Oregon games to see how Marcus has thrown his team on his back.

Honestly, I have seen some awful post when it comes to CFB(And I admit I have some of them), but jesus christ yours are pretty bad. Just admit you have not watched many Ducks games and like Gordon.

And please don't lie like you have watched a lot Oregon games..

STFU fakkit, you root for like 5 different teams in CFB. You are literally known as one of the worst fukking posters on the fukking coli. Jesus, your fukking dumb ass was claiming a couple weeks ago Oregon would get worked by Stanford for christ sakes.

But hey, a hick from Texas being a fukking air head about football is not surprising..

Fair post.

But I hink JT Barrett should be at least second in the Heismen race right now, you disagree?

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

nah. But if he got off to a better start this season he would have been a finalist.

 

[Kaypain]

Statistically speaking yes. But that bias against our schedule along with the Big Ten bias will always hurt us
