Marcus Mariota's touching Heisman acceptance speech moved his dad to tears
Posted Dec 15, 2014
Marcus Mariota became the 80th Heisman Trophy winner on Saturday night with the second largest margin behind Troy Smith in 2006. He’s also the first Oregon Ducks player to win the award. Mariota prepared a touching speech for the occasion, thanking his coaching staff, his teammates (most importantly his offensive linemen), and finally his parents, whom by the end, brimming with pride, were moved to tears.
