Gabriel Earns Pair of Big 12 Weekly Honors
November 28, 2022 | Football
NORMAN — Oklahoma quarterback Dillon Gabriel has been named Big 12 Co-Offensive Player of the Week and Co-Newcomer of the Week after throwing for 449 yards and a career-high six touchdown passes at Texas Tech on Saturday, the league office announced Monday.
The redshirt junior from Mililani, Hawai'i, completed 28 of 40 pass attempts (70%) and finished with a season-high 208.8 pass efficiency rating. His 449 passing yards marked a season high and his second-highest career total. He completed passes to seven different receivers, including Marvin Mims Jr. and Theo Wease, who combined for eight receptions and 285 yards. Gabriel's performance helped the Sooners amass 672 offensive yards and 7.7 yards per play on the night.
For the season, Gabriel ranks second in the Big 12 in total offense (293.2 ypg), passing yards per game (265.9), pass efficiency rating (154.2), yards per completion (13.5), yards per pass attempt (8.5) and passing touchdowns (24). He has completed 216 of 343 passes for 2,925 yards and rushed for 300 yards and five TDs.
The honors mark Gabriel's third and fourth of the season from the Big 12, and the fifth and sixth times an OU player has been recognized by the league. Gabriel was named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week on Sept. 10 and Oct. 17, punter Michael Turk was named Big 12 Co-Special Teams Player of the Week on Oct. 31 and defensive back C.J. Coldon was named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week on Nov. 21.
