Marcus Mariota’s 5-Touchdown Performance Puts Him in Heisman Spotlight

Marcus Mariota threw for 456 yards and accounted for five touchdowns, as his Oregon Ducks waxed Tennessee, 59-14. In the process, the sophomore quarterback is kicking his Heisman campaign into overdrive.

Four of Mariota’s touchdowns came through the air as he set career highs in passing yards and touchdowns.

While there are a pair of quarterbacks, Aggies starter Johnny Manziel and Crimson Tide signal-caller AJ McCarron, who lit up the scoreboard in College Station on Saturday to hog the majority of the headlines from this weekend, Mariota can quietly file this excellent game into his Heisman resume.
