Marcus Mariota and Oregon look like they’re poised to shake off their loss to Arizona as they dominate against Pac-12 foe UCLA
The Oregon Ducks fell from the ranks of the unbeaten when they were upset by the Arizona Wildcats last week as they fell out of the top five, but Marcus Mariota is doing his best to get the Ducks back in the win column against the UCLA Bruins.

Mariota was one of the Heisman front-runners prior to the Arizona loss, but he may have had the door open for him with the indefinite suspension to Georgia running back Todd Gurley and the wacky play he had in the third quarter against the Bruins showed off his dual-threat ability.
With Oregon holding a 21-10 lead over the Bruins, Mariota held the ball after faking the handoff to an Oregon running back and fumbled the ball to only recover it in stride and stroll to the end zone for a 23-yard touchdown run to give the Ducks a 28-10 lead.
