Is Dillon Gabriel the country’s best quarterback or not? A plea for consistency in postseason awards

In this season of giving... out college football awards, is a bit of consistency too much to ask? If Dillon Gabriel was the highest-regarded quarterback among Heisman Trophy voters, then how can he be the country’s third-best quarterback by AP All-American voters? Distinguishing the impact of Gabriel’s season against the years of Miami’s Cam Ward and Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders may depend on personal preference. On this week’s episode of the Oregonian Sports Podcast, hosts Bill Oram and Brenna Greene break down that very question and are even interrupted by a brief restoration of order: A first-team nod for Gabriel on another All-American team. Also discussed on this week’s episode: • The seismic departure that is... the Idaho football coach? • No, no. The retirement of soccer legend Becky Sauerbrunn, a USWNT captain whose impact off the field changed the future of women’s sports • A difference of opinion on who the Ducks should want to play in the Rose Bowl: Ohio State or Tennessee? • And much more.
