“I’m just smiling because we’re Big Ten champs. I’m smiling because we took advantage of an opportunity we had. Shoot, we could have done it at Eugene Country Club, 100-yard field, if we had to, but we’re appreciative of the game.”

Coach Dan Lanning has been the biggest supporter of Gabriel during this undefeated 13-0 run with this program. After the 45-37 victory over the Penn State Nittany Lions, Lanning sang his quarterback’s praises.

“[Dillon] deserves every single thing that comes his way… If anybody can’t watch that performance and recognize how special he is. This team believes in him. They’re grateful every day they get to step on the field with him. He’s about connection and people first. But the poise he shows in big games is unmeasured. I haven’t been around players like Dillon. I’m really grateful that I get to share the field with him.”
