This last Saturday Oregon Ducks QB Marcus Mariota led the Ducks into their first season victory against Gus Malzahn and his Arkansas State Red Wolves.

Marcus handled his newly earned position with poise, and managed to keep the pressure under wraps going 18-22 for 200 yards and three TDs in his debut as starting QB.
 
"The lifestyle back home is so laid back, and just chill. I think that carried over into my play."

Brian questioned Mariota on intentionally passing to 14 different receivers over the course of the game. Most QB's have favorite WR's, and it doesn't look like Marcus has his yet.

"Honestly, I think it's everyone. I have so much trust in each and every one of my receivers and teammates here. And I think that's good for this offense because people can't key on a certain receiver."

Marcus and Brian also go on to discuss the Duck uniform change, Hawaiian food, and Jawaiian Music. Listen to the interview below:
