2014: Marcus Mariota
Marcus Mariota and Oregon came into the championship game off the quarterback’s Heisman triumph. However, it was not to be a double as Ohio State walloped the Ducks, 42-20. Ezekiel Elliott, a sophomore, was the offensive MVP and ran for 246 yards and four touchdowns on a career-high 36 carries. Mariota passed for 333 yards and two touchdowns.
