Oklahoma transfer Dillon Gabriel now driving the No. 3 Ducks as they move to the Big Ten
Quarterback Dillon Gabriel likens taking over the offense at No. 3 Oregon to driving a new car. “I knew what the difficult part of it was going to be, as time is of the essence and learning an offense and having command and control of it. It’s like getting a new car, there’s new buttons and accessories, but you’ve got to go out and race it,” Gabriel said. “And as you find more about it, you can do more fun tricks and kind of show off while doing it.” There’s a lot of newness around Oregon this season and it starts with the move to the Big Ten. Then there’s Gabriel, a first-team Associated Press All-Big 12 quarterback last season, when he threw for 3,660 yards and 30 touchdowns for Oklahoma. He replaces Bo Nix, who threw for a national-best 45 touchdowns last season as the Ducks’ steady leader. Nix was the No. 12 overall pick in the NFL draft by the Denver Broncos this spring.

WBB: Big Ten Advanced Statistics
So far this off season I have taken a look at statistical comparison of the women’s basketball team to their Pac-12 contemporaries on offense and defense, as well as how the rosters compared to Elite Eight Teams. I wanted to go back and look at some of the numbers I had adjusted for game minutes in the first two articles to form team profiles that complemented the individual advanced stat measures I had looked at for the tournament teams. This gave me an opportunity to try to compare the Ducks to the once, and present (as of August 1), members of the Big Ten conference as I had done for their counterparts on the men’s team.
