Breaking Down The Heisman Voting Results
Visit ESPN.com for the complete story. From ESPN.com - College Football - Breaking Down The Heisman Voting Results
Oregon's Marcus Mariota wins the 2014 Heisman Trophy
Mariota was named on 95.16 percent of voters' ballots, the highest percentage a player has ever gotten. His percentage of the available point total was the second-highest in Heisman history at 90.9 percent. Only Troy Smith in 2006, with 91.6 of the possible Heisman points, had a larger percentage.
Mariota is the first Oregon player to win the Heisman Trophy and the 32nd quarterback to win the award. In his emotional speech, he said the award belonged to his teammates and first thanked his offensive line and then other members of his team. Among others, he also thanked Nike's Phil Knight for his contributions to Oregon football and the sacrifices that his family has made.
A native of Hawaii, he also said he hoped the award served as a steppingstone for Polynesian athletes.
This season, Mariota has 3,783 yards passing, 38 touchdowns and two interceptions. He's also rushed for 669 yards and has 14 touchdowns and has a receiving touchdown.
His 53 total touchdowns are more than 92 teams have scored on offense the entire season. And he has more than three times as many touchdowns as SMU (15 TDs), the most porous offensive team at the FBS level.
And his number of touchdowns is greater than any Heisman winner since Sam Bradford had 55 total scores when he won the award in 2008.
While Gordon, who finished second, looked like Mariota's biggest threat to the Heisman as the season unfolded, his candidacy slowed as Mariota's surged. After (temporarily) breaking the NCAA's single-game rushing mark with 408 yards against Nebraska, Gordon had 427 rushing yards combined in the next three games as his yards-per-carry declined in each.
In Mariota's final three games of the season, he had 15 total touchdowns and completed nearly 72 percent of his passes.
Not only is Mariota the fifth-straight quarterback to win the Heisman, he has a chance to be the second-straight and third in five years to win both the Heisman and the national title. Oregon plays Florida State, the defending national champions and team quarterbacked by defending Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1 for a spot in the College Football Playoff Championship Game.
Alabama's Amari Cooper was third and the top five was rounded out by TCU's Trevone Boykin and Ohio State's J.T. Barrett.

Navy beats Army 17-10, extending winning streak to 13 games
The Black Knights, already leading 7-0 late in the first half, faced a fourth-and-one from the Navy 30-yard line. Army dialed up a quarterback sneak, and Angel Santiago appeared to pick up the first down, but the play was whistled dead after Niumatalolo called timeout just before the ball was snapped.
Following the timeout, Army’s next attempt was stuffed by the Navy defense, forcing a turnover on downs. The momentum swung toward the Midshipmen and six plays later, a Navy offense that had struggled the entire half scored on a Keenan Reynolds touchdown pass to Jamir Tillman to tie the score 7-7 going into half.
Navy took a 10-7 lead on a 45-yard Austin Grebe field goal on its opening drive of the second half and controlled the game the rest of the way.
Despite a fantastic effort from a swarming Army defense, the Black Knights just could not get anything going on offense. First-year coach Jeff Monken's squad struck first early in the first quarter when Xavier Moss returned a blocked punt seven yards for a touchdown, but the offense struggled to score more points despite crossing into Navy territory four different times.
Following Grebe’s field goal, Army’s Daniel Grochowski had a chance to tie the game with a field goal of his own, but he hooked a 49-yard attempt to the left. Navy took over and showed off its top-ranked ground attack. A Reynolds (100 rushing yards, 77 passing yards) one-yard touchdown run capped off a 15-play, 69-yard drive that took 7:49 off the clock, giving the Midshipmen a 17-7 lead with 12:07 to go.
Army’s next drive got off to a promising start with runs six, seven and ten yards, but the drive soon turned sour. After crossing the Navy 40-yard line, A.J. Schurr, in at quarterback for Santiago, fumbled on a second down run.
Navy took over and ran another four minutes off the clock before Army got another shot with 3:47 to go. Schurr led the Black Knights into Navy territory again, but this time Grochowski cut the Navy lead to 17-10 with a 52-yard field goal with 1:51 to go.
Army’s attempt at regaining position via an onside kick failed, and Navy was able to run out the clock and seal the win.
Not only did the win extend Navy’s winning streak in the series to 13, Niumatolo broke a program record with his 56th win.
The Midshipmen, heading into Poinsettia Bowl against San Diego State on Dec. 23, improved to 7-5 with the win. Army dropped to 4-8.

Missouri DC Dave Steckel reportedly to coach Missouri State
According to the Springfield News-Leader, Steckel is set to be the new head coach at Missouri State. The Bears are in the FCS subdivision.
Missouri State has set a press conference for 5 p.m. Sunday.
Steckel, 57, was up for this year's Broyles Award, which is given to the top assistant coach in the country. Ohio State's Tom Herman won the award.
Missouri's defense this season was the strength of its team and a big reason why the Tigers are 10-3 and won a second-consecutive SEC East title. Missouri's defense was No. 23 in the nation in total defense and had 42 sacks.
In addition to two-straight SEC East titles, Missouri defensive players have also won two consecutive SEC Defensive Player of the Year awards. DE Michael Sam was named the DPOY in 2013 and this year, Tigers DE Shane Ray won the award. Ray has 14 sacks while his cohort on the other side, DE Markus Golden, has 8.5.
Steckel has been Missouri's defensive coordinator for the past five seasons and the team's linebackers coach for 14. He's only the second defensive coordinator Missouri has had since the arrival of head coach Gary Pinkel.
