Dillon Gabriel’s run at Oregon harkens back to the days of another Hawaii-born QB, Marcus Mariota
Associated PressDillon Gabriel was faced with a quandary when he arrived at Oregon this year. “You know, when you’re growing up and you have that kind of direct example, a guy from Hawaii, playing at a high level, at the DI level, and then you see him go to the NFL, it’s like you can see it, you can believe it,” Gabriel said. Gabriel — who played his first three years at Central Florida before joining the Sooners — became the all-time NCAA leader for total career touchdowns along the way and now has 183, including 149 via pass, 33 via rush and one reception. He was the Ducks’ quarterback in the 2014 season, the last time Oregon advanced to the national championship game. More than anything, just the ability for Dillon to be calm within the chaos that exists in a football game, and being a great decision-maker and understanding the scheme.” The only other time Oregon finished the regular season 12-0 was in 2010, when the Ducks played for the BCS national championship.
