some oregon fans consider it blasphemoy, but Herbert is every bit as good as Mariota passing the ball if not better. Mariota was probably a little quicker on his feet but that being said, Mariota actually had good receivers to work with. Oregon has very little receiving talent this year (and last year) and somehow, Herbert is still putting up big passing numbers.
It’ll be interesting to see if he leaves after this season. Some say he will stick around his senior year to play with his incoming freshman brother, Patrick Herbert (Tightend)
