Dillon Gabriel QB vs. Quinn Ewers QB
Dillon Gabriel has been nothing short of outstanding this season. Unflappably mastering Oklahoma’s offensive scheme, Gabriel boasted an astounding 75.2% completion rate to demonstrate his accuracy and decision-making on the field. Gabriel amassed 1593 passing yards with only 2 interceptions as proof. Additionally, his ratio of 15 touchdowns to 2 interceptions illustrated both his reading skills as well as risk management, ensuring he didn’t give away crucial opportunities during crucial situations. It will be up to Gabriel to keep this excellent form against Texas defense that seeks to limit him as soon as possible.
Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers has also established himself as an accomplished performer. Utilizing a more conservative but efficient style of play, Ewers has managed a 66% completion rate and amassed 1358 passing yards through 66% completions. While his longest pass measures 51 yards, what makes Ewers valuable for Texas are his consistency and ability to keep drives alive; his 164.7 passer rating and 10-touchdown to 1-interception record demonstrate this point perfectly. When facing Oklahoma Sooners defense this weekend, Ewers must utilize this balance by exploiting weaknesses while protecting possession.
