The funniest moment from Mark Helfrich’s press conference following Oregon’s 44-10 win over Colorado on Saturday came from none other than a middle schooler.
A kid named Charlie Pape, who attends O’Hara Catholic School in Eugene, asked Helfrich after the game whether Marcus Mariota would return to school for his senior year next season. Helfrich laughed because it’s not often you get asked that question point black, much less by a young kid. Helfrich chuckled and then turned the tables on Pape, asking the youngster what the chatter was around his school. Pape had a great response of “Jesus, girls and Marcus Mariota,” that left Helfrich dying.
Awesome.
