I originally thought that too then I wondered if Miss St had enough NIL to compete. They landed Blake Shapen from Baylor this week

Oregon plays at Hawaii to open the season next year and Gabriel is from Hawaii so I’m sure that as well as Oregon itself, getting a stack of cash, playing against Ohio state, Michigan and Washington all played a role in his decision
Really? Your point? I’m not riding a free scholarship and jumping ship at the first time something doesn’t go my way. The point was lack of commitment. Comparing jobs to college athletes is not a fair comparison at all
The easy choice might have been to follow Lebby to MSU. But between UCF & OU, Lebby has been his OC for 3 years.
Probably smart to expose himself to a different system for his 6th year. Somewhat of a risk, but the $ were probably right and Bo Nix's transformation probably didn't hurt.
I'm guessing as a Hawaiian following in Marcus Mariota's footsteps was a pretty big deal as well.
When they asked Chiz about that run he basically said I could of drove a truck through that hole.
I’m not sure what the “shock” is. He’s used his five years here, and is taking a shot at actually playing his super senior year someone else.
We’ve seen guys do this before where their time here was done.
(Yes, there are guys CMC will take the COVID year from. Darien Porter is one. We’ll see what course the rest take)
But they did bomb Pearl Harbor? Right?
And West to East is worse, as El Paso is closer to San Diego than it is to Houston!
Call me a cynic, but a 10-2 UO team has “eye test” all over it.
Similar system. Not 100% but similar . Get the ball out quick. And more play makers and a higher ceiling in terms of Oregon having a path to the playoff while at Miss State you have a path to 6-7 wins. Nothing wrong with that but if you want to try to win a natty... Oregon makes sense.
And if you have a dream of trying to make an NFL roster - it also gives you an opportunity to show off in a similar but different system what you can do.
I woulda thought Miss State or maybe Louisville but when Schuck went Louisville that was out
I'm somewhat indifferent on Gabriel going to Oregon.
I will say though when I think about the broader fanbase of college football and why so many are "tired of the portal stuff". This is a good example, this is Dillon Gabriel's THIRD school.
I would be all for having a one time max rule on transferring. When you think of "is this good for college football players", think of the Oregon QB's in their system who are now in the process of transferring.
Des Moines to Dallas is +/- the same distance as El Paso to Dallas

Oregon has a young 4 star QB that we were recruiting. He will probably hit the portal now, if he hasn't already.
How does 10-2 not make the playoffs out of the B1G?
