Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel continues to lead the Big Ten in touchdown passes, barely holding a narrow edge over Ohio State’s Will Howard as Week 10 approaches. With 23 touchdowns compared to Howard’s 22, Gabriel aims to maintain his top spot in the conference as the Ducks prepare to face Michigan. Oregon’s unbeaten record and recent 32-31 win over Ohio State have solidified their No. 1 national ranking, putting them in prime contention for the College Football Playoff.
Gabriel’s standout season hasn’t gone unnoticed. Teammate Tez Johnson praised the quarterback’s creativity and willingness to try bold plays, which has helped elevate the team’s dynamic offense. Johnson called Gabriel a “rare” talent, commending his knack for devising unique strategies that have led to big scoring plays.
With the possibility of meeting Ohio State again in the Big Ten Championship, both teams have crucial games ahead. Ohio State faces a challenging test at Penn State, needing a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. Meanwhile, other Big Ten contenders like unbeaten Indiana and Illinois are pushing for spots in the conference race.
