Gabriel is having an incredible performance in his first game against the Beavers. Gabriel is nearly perfect and electrified with a 54-yard rushing touchdown. Gabriel's first incompletion did not come until the third quarter.

Gabriel's patience in the pocket and explosive plays were exactly what the Ducks needed to come away with a 22-14 first half lead. Gabriel's first half statistics jump off the page, going 10 of-10 passing for 114 yards and a touchdown, adding two carries for 59 yards and a ruxhing touchdown.

"I was actually thinking this morning, waking up, walking to the facility that this is my last one." Boettcher said. "I'm selling out for this game and this week. It means everything to me, and it's obviously, in my opinion, the most fun game of the year."
