Didn't realize Mariota hadn't thrown any interceptions this year. Wow, he must be a great game manager. :sarca:

 

[riz]

I'm not scared.

Somewhere between 20-25% of Mariota's passes last year were thrown to guys behind the line of scrimmage... AJ was about 15% for reference.

Not to mention Oregon only has about 20-30 pass attempts a game, I think they're ranked 80th or something in pass attempts. And while he is accurate, it always seems to be to guys with several yards of space around them; they are always wide open. So I don't give that no interceptions stat too much weight.

He's a good QB for sure though. I just wonder how his skills will transfer to the NFL.

 

[JoshB]

It blows my mind Mariota has 20 TDs and NO picks. Good lord.

 

[bamaraider]

Yeah Mariota is a beast. UCLA did some things in that first half though that intrigues me if we got matched up with them, but they would be a quality opponent.

I'm sorry though, looking at FSU, I just don't see them winning the natty. Maybe next year when everyone returns.
