00:00Earlier this week a co-favorite alongside Georgia's Carson Beck now Gabriel is all by himself at a plus
00:07550 price Joe here in the preseason on this first Saturday of
00:122024 is Dylan Gabriel deserving of being a solo short favorite to win a Heisman Trophy in his first year at Oregon
00:19I don't know. It's a lot of pressure right now
00:20I think he's
00:22Deserving to be in the conversation
00:23But he's taking over for a quarterback in terms of Bo Nix that threw for 45 touchdowns three interceptions that we talked about the completion
00:31Percentage in terms of FPS one of the best all-time at 78 percent early in the middle part of the year
00:37Bo Nix was up over 80 percent at 81 for much of the regular season
00:41So this is a lot of pressure, but I understand that Dylan Gabriel 30 touchdowns only six interceptions
00:47He can also run in terms of the RPO game Kevin is battle testing
00:52He gave Texas their only regular season loss in terms of the Red River
00:56Rivalry he's a quarterback that comes with experience and it's gonna have one of the better offenses in the Big Ten
01:02So people are gonna roll their eyes when I say this, but I'm right the selling point on Dylan
01:08Gabriel is the guy he is replacing would have won this award last year under the current format
01:14As Oregon made the college football playoff and LSU would have not made the college football playoff
01:19And that is one of the changes is now in the expanded format, I think that we have
01:25More contenders. I think it's more open. But if you are not in the CFP
01:31There is no way you win this. I cannot imagine
01:35I mean again, we then we gave it last year to Jaden Daniels and LSU who was 13th in the final CFP poll, but
01:43We there were only four teams that made it so it didn't feel as nightmarish
01:47I was the only person in the world that understood that that team was not winning any of the games that mattered even if he lit
01:52Up army, but that's okay. That's okay. The selling point on Gabriel is
01:58They project to be the best offense in college football
02:00And they are the third biggest favorite to make the college football playoff and that is this it's very simple and coherent argument to make
