Dillon Gabriel wants to lead Oregon to a national championship, but he is making headlines for another reason.
The 2024 Heisman Trophy finalist was in the midst of an interview. His Ducks will face No. 8 Ohio State in the College Football Playoff quarterfinal at the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day.
Oregon and head coach Dan Lanning secured the top seed and a first-round bye after a perfect regular season.
During his interview, Dillon Gabriel began randomly speaking about things like playing football on nice grass instead of artificial turf. He added that fans would rather sit in the sun than snow and rain.
Gabriel then stated that stadiums should have domes and that fireworks should be allowed at games, which wouldn’t be feasible if the game is indoors.

Dillon Gabriel Looking to Cement His Draft Stock During College Football Playoffs
Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel is hoping to cement his NFL Draft stock in the College Football Playoff.
After six seasons of college football and three different programs, the Oregon quarterback is going through his final time as a college quarterback.
The sixth-year senior, who is 24, is 2nd in FBS history in passing yards, trailing only Case Keenum.
Gabriel has the talent to make it to the NFL, but he is likely to enter the league as a developmental prospect rather than a player a front office is counting on to become a franchise quarterback.
