Marcus Mariota wins QB job for No. 5 Oregon

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) -- Redshirt freshman Marcus Mariota has won the job as starting quarterback for No. 5 Oregon.

Oregon coach Chip Kelly announced Friday that Mariota earned the position over sophomore Bryan Bennett, who was Darron Thomas' backup last season. Thomas left school early to declare his eligibility for the NFL draft.

Oregon went 12-2 last season and defeated Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl. The Ducks open this season at home against Arkansas State on Sept. 1.

Mariota is the first freshman to start in an opener for Oregon since Danny O'Neil in 1991.

Kelly, Mariota and Bennett were not available for comment until workouts on Saturday, the school said.

John Boyett facing possible season-ending knee surgery. Would be a massive blow to the Ducks defense as he is probably their most experienced player.

 

Junior Avery Patterson made his first career start at free safety in Boyett's place in the victory over Fresno State. Sophomore Erick Dargan also played significant minutes. They each had five tackles.
