Barring something biblical, like a swarm of locusts halting the ceremony
will become the second player from the Pacific Northwest to win the Heisman Trophy.
It has been tougher landing a Heisman in these parts than it was for Lewis and Clark to reach the coast.
It took an over-the-top season by Mariota to make this week something resembling a victory lap.
His numbers were too outrageous to ignore.
This year, pundits tried to leave a window crack open for Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon and Alabama receiver Amari Cooper.
The closest thing to scandal involving Mariota was the speeding ticket he was issued a few weeks ago.
If Mariota is putting on a nice-guy act, he also deserves an Academy award.
