Couldn't have said it better myself. Let's get some 401K's after the game, shall we?

One of the big semi-final games. Oregon versus Florida State! Oregon has Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota. He is Samoan from Hawai'i. He is known for being humble. Florida State has Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston. He is known for being brash. Both should go to the pros next year. It will be interesting to see who gets drafted first. Mariota has a better temperament, but Winston, according to Sports Illustrated, is an incredible prototype of a quarterback. He reads defenses better than anyone and coupled with his power and winning attitude on the field, the article concludes he is one of the greatest college quarterbacks of all time. 

Oregon is ranked #1 in the country. The only game they lost was when their best offensive lineman was hurt and Mariota was pressured on every down by Arizona. Florida State plays with fire every week it seems, but always pulls out an ugly win. Oregon is a 7.5 point favorite. Wow! Pat has Oregon; Kirsten has Florida State.
