Dillon Gabriel Breaks NCAA Passing Record

The expanded College Football Playoffs are highlighted by traditional New Year's Day games, including a matchup between Oregon and Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel, who has already set an NCAA record for career total touchdowns, seeks to break the passing touchdowns record in this game. Both Gabriel and Ohio State's Will Howard, a transfer quarterback, bring extensive experience to their teams, having previously faced significant challenges in their college careers. Oregon's Tez Johnson has praised backup quarterback Dante Moore's potential, suggesting he could be a future Heisman contender. As these two powerhouse teams prepare to meet again after their close first matchup, both coaches acknowledge the growth and adjustments their players have made since then. The stakes are high as they compete in one of the most anticipated quarterfinals of the playoffs.
