…I n 2013, an undergraduate research project suggesting Oreos activated more of the brain’s pleasure centers than either cocaine or morphine set off a storm of media attention.

In three home games, Patterson has completed 72 percent of his passes, totaling 482 yards and seven touchdown passes. In two road games, he’s yet to throw for a touchdown.
