I just watched an old game from 2012 between the Ducks and Fresno State.
It was the last season that Chip Kelly was the head coach before going in the Pros to coach the Philadelphia Eagles.
It was the last season for De'Anthony Thomas before he got drafted to the KC Chiefs.
It was the last season for Fresno QB Derek Carr before he was drafted as the QB for the Oakland Raiders.
It was the first full season for Marcus Mariota, who went on to win the Heisman Trophy and got drafted by the Tennessee Titans.
