Recap: Ducks Soar with Record-Breaking Win
A record-setting performance by Gabriel leads Oregon to victory over Maryland.
Oregon's Dillon Gabriel surpassed NCAA records in a 39-18 victory over Maryland's Terrapins. The Ducks' offense, led by Gabriel's 183 passing yards and three touchdowns, sealed their spot as top playoff contenders. Despite missing a favorite target due to injury, Gabriel still found success with the unlikely pass to Gernorris Wilson, marking a career milestone. Penalties were a concern for coach Dan Lanning, and injuries challenged key players. Maryland’s quarterback, Billy Edwards Jr., delivered a solid performance. Oregon's strong defense forced pivotal turnovers that carved a pathway to triumph.
