In Week 8 of the NFL season the Ducks will claim a program milestone. With Jayden Daniels out with a strained hamstring Marcus Mariota will start for the Commanders.
That gives the Ducks four NFL starters at one time, Justin Herbert, Bo Nix, Dillon Gabriel and Mariota. They've had three this season and previously in 2006 but never four.
Already this season the Ducks are leading the league in passing yards by one college:
Justin Herbert Chargers (leads the league in passing) 1,913
Bo Nix Broncos (11th) 1,556
Dillon Gabriel (36th) 546
Marcus Mariota (37th 426
UO Total 4,441
Among other programs, only Oklahoma and Alabama are above 4,000 through the season.
