Mariota will be a duck, he already told UW no thanks who else has that weak of a depth chart in the Pac-10?

I could be viewing this with blinders but if Bennett continues to improve at the rate exhibited thus far then not even Thomas will be safe next year at QB. IMO Bennett was the steal of his class. I can't imagine how the other PAC 10 programs missed on him but he is the real deal.

I agree he was a steal early on, but then others took note. Scout had him at 4* and #11 overall, and if he had not been injured as a JR I would have to guess he would have been that high to start with and finished in the top 10.

He is one player that I am glad the Ducks got. Although he had no shot at the #1 or 2 jobs, to win the #3 spot over someone who has been in the program a year is impressive. I hope that he doesn't have to play so that he moves behind DT another class and has the possibility of 2 years of starting.

If he could accomplish half as much as what the other famous Oregon #3 did, we would be more than okay.
