Ncaa SquareOffs

It's too early to tell on this SquareOff, but this win proves to the team and fans that they can win on the road. 2012 team had 2011 success they were building off of. 2014 team needed the win more.

How many qbs that depend on their legs last in the NFL.... none Kapernick, Newton and Wilson are being exposed this year without an elite defense Winston is an ANdrew Luck type of talent, that can carry a team... hes doing it right now in college... Mariota loses to mediocre teams like arizona in his own house.... also mariota is injury prone

I just don't think that Mariota's game will translate to the NFL. For him to be successful, he will have to be drafted by a team that's a perfect fit. Oregon's playbook is the smallest in college football, Mariota's learning curve will therefore be extensive. Winston will probably suck too though, so I'm betting they both bust.

It's tough as obviously both are talented players. I think Mariota is more careful with the ball, but he reminds me too much of Manziel on how quickly he abandons the throw for the scramble. Winston has great arm strength and uses his mobility mostly to keep plays alive and always keeps his eyes down field. Also like Manziel, I think he could be one of the greats in the NFL if he can keep his nose clean.
