The Oregon Ducks are slowly becoming one of the standout teams in the NCAAF, especially after their historic victory last Saturday against the Ohio State Buckeyes. With an impressive performance from QB Dillon Gabriel, Dan Lanning‘s squad remains undefeated. It was the head coach who addressed Gabriel’s performance.
The record of six wins and no losses is no coincidence for Oregon. The team’s high level of play in each game has positioned Dan Lanning’s squad as a serious title contender.
The clearest demonstration of the Ducks‘ talent was their last game on Saturday, where Oregon secured a historic victory with a score of 32-31 against the perennial contenders, the Buckeyes. The standout performance of their star QB Gabriel was key to achieving this goal.
After the game, it was Lanning himself who highlighted the superb performance of his QB: “Every time I went and looked in his eyes tonight, I saw a guy who was composed and ready for his next moment,” Lanning said to the press after the win. “He played really, really well tonight in some really big moments.”
