Marcus thought about Washington???!!! Thankfully, Johnny Football found his way to A &M. He got a Heisman; Marcus got a Heisman. Washington?

Best line of the article. 

 

"We're on the plane ride home and I told my mom like, ‘I want to go to Washington,'" Mariota said. "I had got an offer from Washington. Steve Sarkisian was up there and Sark was like, he rolled out the red carpet. I was like, ‘I'm going there. I'm settled.’ So we're sitting there on the plane and my mom's like, ‘You really want to go to Washington?’ I was like, ‘No.’" 

 

I can just see a teenager being upset and saying something out of spite and then verbally realizing that they don't want the thing they said they wanted.
