No. 5 Oregon will travel to Arizona to take on the Wildcats at 3:30 pm est. 

Oregon Quarterback Marcus Mariota says this his battered knee is almost 100 person, as he makes one last effort toward a Heisman trophy. 

ESPN noted that Mariota hurt his knee a few weeks ago against UCLA. He played with a brace and appeared to be limited two weeks ago when the Ducks fell short to Stanford, 26-20.  At the time, Oregon was ranked No. 2, but the loss put them out of a straight shot to the national championship.

Despite the injury, if Mariota can help his team with their near two games, they'll land a spot in the Pac-12 championship for an opportunity at the Rose Bowl. 

"We just try and focus on what we have here. We know what we're capable of doing," Mariota said. "Like we always say, we'll continue to push through it and in December we'll pick up our heads and see where we're at."

Mariota has rushed for 477 yards this season, good for third on the team, with nine touchdowns. But more importantly, he's thrown for 25 touchdowns and no interceptions.

Meanwhile, the Wildcats are no longer a factor in the race for the Pac-12 South, and are coming off a 24-17 loss at home to Washington State.

SB nation reported that Oregon are 20.5 point favorites, with an over/under of 67.5 points.
