QB stars when Florida St meets Oregon in Rose Bowl

Jameis Winston won the last Heisman Trophy. It looks as if Marcus Mariota is going to win the award this year. And on New Year's Day, the two most decorated quarterbacks in college football will go head-to-head in the Granddaddy of Them All. Defending national champion Florida State (13-0) will face West Coast king Oregon (12-1) in the 101st edition of the Rose Bowl. The tantalizing matchup was determined by the College Football Playoff committee on Sunday. "You have two of the greatest of all time at their position," Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said. The schools will meet for the first time in a playoff semifinal that could be a showcase for Winston and Mariota, who both finished up their regular seasons by leading their teams to victories in their conferences' championship games. Winston threw for 309 yards and three touchdowns in the Seminoles' 37-35 win over Georgia Tech in the ACC game, and Mariota threw two TD passes and ran for three more in the Ducks' 51-13 rout of Arizona in the Pac-12 final.
