LinkedUp: Mariota Talks To Canzano, Oregon Looking Ahead to Arizona, BCS Chaos Scenerios

Oregon is now prepping to head down to Tucson to face Arizona this week before wrapping up the regular season with the Civil War and Oregon State at Autzen next Friday(4pm, Fox Sports 1).

There has been a lot of talk about the health of Oregon Quarterback Marcus Mariota and his knee. He has had the brace on in practice this week, but may take it off for the game. The Oregon Quarterback caught up with John Canzano from radio station 750 The Game  for a chat.

The Oregon Quarterback  did say he wasn’t really worried about his knee moving forward this week at Arizona. The bigger concern for Oregon is Arizona Running Back Ka’Deem Carey who is having another solid season for the Wildcats. Arizona Head Coach Rich Rodriguez says his team better be ready for the #5 Ducks on Saturday.

With Oregon losing two weeks ago to Stanford on the Farm, the Associated Press takes a look at some of the BCS Chaos that could ensue over the coming weeks, including what happens if Florida State and Alabama stumble and what it would take for Oregon to get back into the National Championship Conversation. I think the best bet for Oregon is the Rose Bowl. It would be interesting if the Ducks face Michigan State come January. They will see them again at Autzen next September.

Finally, the Oregonian offers what could happen to the Ducks Program when the NFL comes calling this offseason.  The Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller has his Mock Draft, which has several key components of this year’s team playing on Sundays.

If you haven’t seen it yet the Ducks take on Arizona this Saturday at 12:30 on ABC or ESPN2.
