Mariota’s next goal to win the Rose Bowl: Congratulations to Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota for picking up the Heisman Trophy this past weekend. He was the landslide winner this is well deserved he’s played hard. He would have got the Heisman last season but he got hurt. Moriota got the award for the best player in college football, they did a good job in giving him the publicity.

Moriota got justice because of the whole west coast bias thing he got elected for the award and he did a great job and he’ll represent really well. He has a shot to win the Rose Bowl if you look at Florida State and Oregon their pretty even. The ACC and the Pac 12 aren’t seen being very different as far as competition they’re pretty even as far as a level of competition.

The Pac 12 was not strong the stronger teams besides Oregon was Arizona and UCLA, when you look at the ACC FSU, North Carolina, Duke, Georgia Tech, and Navy are strong teams. So really out of the whole conference three teams in general were kind of strong neither came out of a very strong conference. FSU barely won some of the games, yeah but they won, that’s the bottom line they managed to make something out of nothing.

Navy head coach Ken Niumatalolo sets record for most wins: The game between Navy and Army is the Super Bowl for these two teams for all of these players who all go and serve their country after they graduate. Very few will come after their service and play in the NFL. So this is really their big game which Navy won 17-10 to hand Navy head coach Ken Miumatalolo the lead for most wins by a Navy coach at 56-35. Miumatalolo passes former Navy head coach George Welsh who held the record.

The game started off with a block punt and a defensive touchdown this game was what it was suppose to be those young men took all of everything from it. For Navy in passing quarterback Keenan Reynolds went six for eight passing for 77 yards, was sacked once but threw for a touchdown. Army’s quarterback A.J. Schurr no Christmas for him in this game, he didn’t do as well going 1-3 for 20 yards was sacked twice and no touchdowns.

Reynolds also had 26 carries for 100 yards where he ran one in for a touchdown, Navy running back Chris Swain had nine carries for 47 yards. With Army you had running back Larry Dixon carrying 14 times for 90 yards but he didn’t score either. For Navy Jamir Tillman caught two passes for 48 yards and one touchdown and for Navy Dixon went one for 20 for no touchdowns.

Notre Dame women wear “I can’t breath” shirts during warm ups: I was really surprised that Notre Dame came out and wore the “I can’t breath” T-shirts to honor the late Eric Garner the New York resident who was choked to death by New York City policeman Daniel Pantaleo. The first college team to wear the t-shirts were the Georgetown men who did it earlier this week. I can understand Georgetown because it’s in Washington D.C. very close to New York City where those players are coming from.

I can fully understand why Notre Dame and Georgetown did it, Georgetown has a legacy from their former coach John Thompson who walked off the court to protest Prop 49. I was very proud of what Notre Dame did and I just am surprised that the Notre Dame women did that. The young ladies went to coach Muffet McGraw and talked to her about wearing the shirts in pre game warm ups and they got the okay.

McGraw has players that are from those areas and she is very close to being from Ferguson Missouri being from Lafayette Indiana. This resonated with all of her players I want to applaud the women at Notre Dame for taking that stand and it kept growing and growing. The fact that the collegiates really let you know the magnitude of this movement.
