Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota was named the year’s first Davey O’Brien Quarterback of the Week on Tuesday.
Mariota, who finished as a semi-finalist for the Davey O’Brien award in 2012 and 2013, completed 17-of-28 passes for 318 yards and three touchdowns in Oregon’s 46-27 victory over No. 7 Michigan State.
Mariota previously won the weekly award, which is given to the quarterback with the best performance in the country, after leading the Ducks to a 45-24 road victory over the Washington Huskies last season.
Mariota beat out Michael Brewer (Virginia Tech), Everett Golson (Notre Dame), Taysom Hill (BYU), Maty Mauk (Missouri), Seth Russell (Baylor), Bo Wallace (Ole Miss) and Jake Waters (Kansas State) for this week’s honor.
Mariota and No. 2 Oregon will hit the field again next Saturday when the Ducks faceoff against Wyoming at 11 a.m. at Autzen Stadium.
