I agree. There have been more talented ones that ended up being better pros or put up better numbers, but Mariota was a weapon in every aspect and had such great control of the entire offense. Give him that 2019 LSU roster and he likely has 60 TDs and wins a national championship too. Plus he was elite every year compared to Cam and Joe Burrow just being elite for 1 year. Not to mention he tricked the entire country into think Mark Helfrich could coach
I'm a Trojan fan, but Mario-TA is one of my favorite quarterbacks ever, at any level. And Oregon, how the hell do you beat these uniforms?! They're the best!
So his mom doesn't know how to say her name. I'm pretty sure she knows how to say her name better than you do. If you watched the video the announcers said his mom called and said that is how you say his last name.
I’m a Duck fan from the age of 3 years old and I’m still one now at the age of 30 nearly 31 and I miss the Mariota days! He is the greatest QB to ever play for us! Herbert is second best! Then Joey Harrington!
I was home for the summer about to start my sophomore year at U of O. Couldn't get a ride from La Pine to Eugene to see the game. I remember watching from home and just looking at my dad saying damn his decision making skills are gonna go a long ways.
What bums me out is we get 2 excellent Quarterbacks, as you correctly state -1 wins a Heisman, then we get a so-so QB who throws into coverage and is intercepted. Sometimes twice in the same game. Why are we going backwards?
This was hands down the best team they ever had in my opinion. Had they not slipped up against Stanford they win a national championship. Because they would’ve played ND and not Bama
man, i'm gonna miss watching him play. best QB in oregon history and, arguably, in college ever. i mean, 7 int's in his CAREER? over 10k yards? almost 60TDs in his last season alone and almost half were on foot? don't tell me he isnt the best. let's hope that we get a good replacement to tie us over until that start from michigan comes in
No... he isn't even close to being the greatest QB in college. You are just a stupid fanboy. Tebow was better then mariota in college. Shit colt Mccoy was better then mariota in college. He is a product of the system he plays in. He will be a BUST in the nfl. He will get injured and won't be able to outrun people or get away from people anymore.
Connor Smith Tebow has been crap, end of story. He had a good defense with the Broncos he only had to,make a throw or two to win the game Tebow was never genuinely good. All Tebow did was run the ball I'm college. He can't throw the ball accurately anyone who's watched him,play knows he Can't throw well. Tebow has had good defenses all through out his career they've kept him in the game and the defense failed he failed. For example the SEC championship between them and Alabama, Alabama was scoring and the defense couldn't stop them but Tebow couldn't do anything yes I know Alabama has a really good defense but Tebow should've been able to something if he's "the greatest QB in college" so really Tebow wasn't all that great in hind sight
Seth Cohen when did I say he's the greatest QB in college? Please show me where I said that. All I'm saying is tebow was better in college. I mean tebow did win 2 BCS national championships. Mariota none. I mean idk tebow was better then mariota in college. Idk in pros I mean tebow did throw the game winning touchdown to win a playoff game in over time.
Seth Cohen Peyton Manning has been dubbed one of the greatest qbs in nfl history and commanded the greatest scoring offense in nfl history but look what that seahawks defence did to him... Greatest qb in college or nfl doesn't matter, no one is invincible...
I was there for his first game and his last. (And some in between of course). Shit was awesome having him be a Duck. Go Ducks! I think I even have a newspaper clipping of when they said he would finally start and they were questioning if he was even good.
I've been an Oregon fan for a LONG time, and I personally think that Marcus Mariota is the best we've had in a WHILE. Hopefully he keeps his game up, and doesn't hurt his shoulder anymore this season. When he got slightly injured at the Oregon vs Cal game, Bryan Bennet proved to us why he is second on the depth chart. Hopefully we won't need Bennet during the OSU vs Oregon game.
not a Oregon ducks fan but love the uniform and QB samoan Polynesian Marcus is a beast in high school st Louis private school god given talented n still a beast on college....
Imagine what Colt (9:14 & 11:50) could have been if he didn't have all the off the field issues. Watched him play at hillsboro in high school and the dude was a beast still. Reminds me of a Rob Gronkowski type of player. Easily could have been one of the best TE in the NFL imo
My late brother and his wife were far from sports fans. In their thirties so not sticks in the mud at all. But anyway, while I lived at the Oregon coast with not too much, they would have me come visit so I could watch the Duck game and have a good dinner. Re: DeAnthony Thomas, I still smile big when I recall her voice as she squealed, "Look at him go! Look at him go!"
Watched Marcus play ball @ St. Louis h.s, here in Hawaii, watched him win the Heisman @ Oregon. He had an okay stint in TN. But then he got dealt to OAK, ATL & now w/PHL. Such a disappointing end(?) after a skyrocket start. Given the Right OC/OS, #8 can Still Succeed/Excel!
A future NFL coach, Future Auburn Head coach (Arkansas state HC) Yeah he beat us but damn gotta acknowledge it, Future NFL 2nd overall pick and Heismen winner, NFL Drafted running back (KB) Another NFL drafted RB (DAT), WR drafted WR (Huff) and a high school coach who saved his school from a gunman, addison that still is in the NFL and many more players to name. This game is filled with great names of college football.
At 19:44/21:00 - "Drew Brees-style" bread-basket throw (i.e., "tight window"; "NFL-caliber throw") -- and in his first game as a Redshirt Freshman. "Chile, pleeze." Best wishes on April 30, 2015, Marcus :-)
That last touchdown was intense! Doesn't matter what team you're playing. When you're being pulled backwards around the waist, the names on the jerseys don't matter. That's just pure will power.
FusRoDef No doubt, he had a great season this year, a few good performances, done really well against Washington. Hopefully he will stay on for a few seasons, UO will carve him into a Heisman candidate by the end of that time I reckon
Duck Nation Good point, Freeman is substantially bigger than both of them. But there have been some relatively small RBs over the years who have regularly started, Sproles, Jones-Drew to name a coupe
Marcus Mariota: Oregon's best QB EVER!
No doubt, I miss him
This guy should have three Heisman trophies. Best college QB ever.
Lol, whatever.

I remember watching this game in my bedroom. My jaw dropped. I was watching the greatest quarterback to ever play at the University of Oregon.
💯
I love how it's Mariota who gives Marshall that extra push at the end for the last touchdown.
0:00??
28:56
i dont think the back would have scored if Maritoa didn't give him the extra push.
Now he plays with the ti-TA-ns
How didnt you get the joke Ryan?
Lmao
Explain to me this
THIS IS SO UNDER RATED OMMLLL
Lol if you don't get this joke you're not an Oregon fan. (don't care if im months late)
Man, to imagine what an awesome player we had starting for us. What a great 3 seasons we had with Mariota.
On this day, a legend was born
no tf he is 20 is years old here
He was 18 in here, I should know I went to high school with him
+Mitchell Cummins redshirt freshman aren't 18
+Andrew Tague true freshman
+Jason Chase he redshirted the 2011 season
Listening to them say Mario-TA all game long was pretty silly
Harambe that's how you say his name
Fidget Spinner no it's not lol
So his mom doesn't know how to say her name. I'm pretty sure she knows how to say her name better than you do. If you watched the video the announcers said his mom called and said that is how you say his last name.
Seriously that’s how you say his name, first Hawaiian bank’s commercial of mario-ta his father pronounces his name that way
Fuzzy Buddy yes it is
Miss these days😢
Wtd MRD hell yeah man. Im from Michigan and i have to stay up pretty late to catch their games but back then it was worth it. WTD. Go ducks
Same same. Miss seeing Chip Kelly's Ducks rack up 60 points a game.
Wtd MRD same dude
Damn. The good days of Oregon now we rebuild
Adam Brant fucking real shit 😂😂😡😡 Fire Helfrich. Hire Art Briles
Art Briles is a pathetic human being. You guys need to go after Tom Herman.
Adam Brant ay we ducked up all day
Willie Taggart!

Don't miss him, just become an Atlanta Falcons fan! lol
@@____Michael_____ as a Georgia boy that grew up an Oregon fan, I've gotta go to a falcons game this year! It's like a fantasy come true lol

i hope he gets this swagger back with the Falcons.
19:47 "This is just getting SILLY!" I love commentators during Oregon games
Clicked on this video just to hear Joe say that

I'm a titans fan and glad we have this very classy young man leading our franchise!
this aged like milk
I remember his debut can't believe he's in the NFL already its been good memories watching him play cant wait to see his debut in the NFL
still excited to see it?
Oregon QB Marcus Mariota lights it up in his college debut.
Honestly from that very first drive i knew he would be special
Thanks for leaving in those studio updates. So nostalgic...

"its MARIOTA, Not MARIO-TA." - Hermione Granger
Nah his parents told the announcers it's pronounced Mario-Ta
Lol, looks like even MARCUS can't pronounce his name right 😆😹
Chris Devine no you're wrong he said it right
Lol wow 🤦♂
Chris Devine Mario-ta
He will be the greatest of all time when it’s said and done
It's amazing to see mariota come from here all the way to the Titans
Amazing team. Spread Option to another level.
I was there for his first game and his last. (And some in between of course). Shit was awesome having him be a Duck. Go Ducks! I think I even have a newspaper clipping of when they said he would finally start and they were questioning if he was even good.
One of my favorite players
if this dude keeps up the hard work he could be a starting nfl QB one day
🧐🧐🧐 but wait....
mario-TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
he had a perfect debut

What a great role model. I'm now a Titan's fan. Go Marcus.
The start of a Oregon Ducks Legend.
The Ducks in the day of the Blur offense was the funnest team to watch ever.
this is perfectly cut. good job
We didn't give Marcus Mariota a good enough chance at the Raiders; keeping him would have saved us heaps of cash and negated the need to sign Jimmy G.
I miss watching Colt Lyerla he was an animal. sadly fell off the train. Hope hes doing well now and kicking lifes ass! he was a stud on the field
Imagine what Colt (9:14 & 11:50) could have been if he didn't have all the off the field issues. Watched him play at hillsboro in high school and the dude was a beast still. Reminds me of a Rob Gronkowski type of player. Easily could have been one of the best TE in the NFL imo
i could watch this all day everyday #Win the Day DUCKS !
Fantastic recording
Badass video, thanks for posting it.
God damn the nostalgia
2024 still reminiscing
Look at our New QB...He's a BEAST!!!
GO BUCS!!!
#WeGotThis
We'll see Monday
Versace GXLD Flame We will Indeed!
Oregon had bit of bad luck, but at least Oregon has a quarterback that got a Heisman. Does your QB have a Heisman?
simplegirl265 We bucs are possibly going to draft Mariota!
***** Is your new quarterback not doing it for ya already?
listening to the announcers say "Mariota" is hilarious
My late brother and his wife were far from sports fans. In their thirties so not sticks in the mud at all. But anyway, while I lived at the Oregon coast with not too much, they would have me come visit so I could watch the Duck game and have a good dinner. Re: DeAnthony Thomas, I still smile big when I recall her voice as she squealed, "Look at him go! Look at him go!"
I MISS THIS TEAM!!!!!!!!!!
makes me want to cry
Joshua Scott same I miss him so much
Joshua Scott and the other players like de Anthony thomas
Who's watching in 2017? Mariota is an absolute beast now. Future HOF
Lol
The last touchdown shown, Mariota helped his running back across the goal line by giving him a shove. Hahaha.
"Nice pass from Mario-TA" "Barner in the backfield with Mario-TA" "Such poise from Mario-TA" "Mario-TA out of the gun here" LOL
Mario-TA looks and TA-chdown
At least they pronounce his name better than the commissioner did
Yeah, im not a Philly fan, but this dude would be perfect there for a multitude of reasons.
how is nobody talking about this score? i mean yes they were playing arkansas state but if oregon really wanted to, they EASILY could have scored 100
Oregon's had a lot of great offenses but Mariota was the one qb that felt like he could score 100 in most games.
Watched Marcus play ball @ St. Louis h.s, here in Hawaii, watched him win the Heisman @ Oregon. He had an okay stint in TN. But then he got dealt to OAK, ATL & now w/PHL. Such a disappointing end(?) after a skyrocket start. Given the Right OC/OS, #8 can Still Succeed/Excel!
these should be their home for the most part, all the time

Shout out to Byron Marshall on his debut too. Solid, underrated player.
I worked this game for ESPN, as a A2. It was a shellacking.
At halftime, the side line reporter Jack Arute, said “this is like clubbing harp seals”
Great video
those jerseys are soooooooooooo sick
Who would've thought we'd be addding Bo nix name to the list of all our Great Qbs.
and god, i miss Colt Lyerla as TE. imagine what would have happened if we had that setup this year along with freeman. damn
Can't wait go titans
+ed gallegos Titans need to get him some help.
Don Layton
we did and we will some more
Go tannehill j
reppin'' the 808 love their uniforms..
That intro gives me a nostalgia from the NCAA video games
Good to have a local braddah taking reigns of the awesome ducks! Go Marcus! I smell BCS championship!
19:20 - I could be wrong but it looks like he stepped past the line of scrimmage before throwing to Josh Huff.
He didnt

Thanks to Mariota for the extra push or he would’ve been downed short
Crazy thing is.... Mariota was built for that offense & thats what made the ducks so dangerous...
2:59 wow they scored 84!
Thought I was the only one who caught that 😂
I didn’t even realize Byron, Kenjon, and DAT even played on the same team and Huff and Bralon... good lord that’s ridiculous 😂
Marioh-tah
Its MarioTA not MarioTAH
Yea that was pissing me off
I miss the old chip kelly interviews
Shame Barner isn't a starting RB in the NFL, he was great. Oregon always produces great RBs, they always seem to be stuck on special teams though.
I feel like Freeman will be if he stays a couple of years at UofO. He was one of the most productive true freshman RBs in the nation this year.
FusRoDef No doubt, he had a great season this year, a few good performances, done really well against Washington. Hopefully he will stay on for a few seasons, UO will carve him into a Heisman candidate by the end of that time I reckon
MoMoneyMoProblems hiphop
because they are too small to start games in the NFL
Duck Nation Good point, Freeman is substantially bigger than both of them. But there have been some relatively small RBs over the years who have regularly started, Sproles, Jones-Drew to name a coupe
Best QB in the NFL
Mariota is goin to NFL
titans
good times for Oregon
Best uniforms ever
He is the best
What was the final score?
VirginDestroyer Final Score was 57-34 Oregon won the game
Bro we were fucking stacked
Reppin' that 808!
why was he wearing a red jersey? at the start of the video which was different from the rest of the team
Quarterbacks always do in spring games
aight thanks man
Offence making him look like a pro
my dads the one with the all black nike jumpsuit with white trims. i was like 9 at the time lol
Guys whats the name of the song playing at the end?
