When you experience (a loss), it helps you not fear it, Mariota said. This Duck-Cardinal matchup once again has huge national implications and The Farm is already alive with tailgate activities in anticipation of the 6p kickoff. Mariota is so good and I think will lead the Ducks to victory. He reminds me of the Huskies Marques Tuiasosopo, the only player in D1 history to pass for over 300 yards while rushing for over 200 in a game, coincidentally against the Cardinal at Husky Stadium. But Mariota is perhaps on a different level. I told old friend, Kevin Spaise, who lives on Maui, yesterday that when Mariota hangs up his cleats hell probably return to the islands and don the mantle of Kamehameha and lead his people to independence as they so rightfully deserve. But hes that kind of guy. When you read about his off field personality it is one of a person of tremendous love and dignity. In tribute to this singular player I say, Go Ducks. Sorry, Fernandes.
