00:00First of all, Dylan Gabriel, he's moved allegedly to the head of the class for the Heisman with

00:09his big performance, I guess, against Ohio State and then followed it up with the blowout

00:14of Illinois.

00:15You know, for me, I get it with the history with Mariota, Herbert, all the great quarterbacks

00:22that have played there.

00:24I also know that he plays all these big games at Alston Stadium.

00:28I know his only two road games left are candy-ass games.

00:32I think Michigan and Wisconsin are candy-ass compared to Oregon.

00:35I really do.

00:36So I think they're going to be playing in the playoff and for a national championship.

00:40Are you okay with him moving to the head of the class of the Heisman with those two games?

00:44Because he wasn't even in the discussion before those two games.

00:49Yeah.

00:50I mean, I think, you know, obviously to give him the spot right now to be where he is in

00:55the Heisman, I think those performances have probably pushed him in there as well.

00:59And I think if he can finish strong, I think he's got a good chance of at least being one

01:03of the finalists going in there.

01:05And I mean, again, Oregon, as long as they're in that top spot, you know, as long as they

01:09continue to play well, they've got to be able to stop some teams defensively.

01:13But you know, again, this weekend at Michigan, I mean, I don't think Michigan is that good.

01:17We've seen how they've struggled as well.

01:19So I think this is a big opportunity for Dylan if he wants to continue to make his case for

01:23the Heisman Trophy.

01:24And I think he's shown that, you know, I mean, what is he, a six-year player who's going

01:27to probably end up setting most of the passing marks because he's been around for so long.

01:31So why not also throw a Heisman Trophy in the mix as well?
