00:00We've got Jerry Allen with us, a pleasure, the legendary voice of the Oregon Ducks.
00:09What a game Saturday night at Outsen and Eugene.
00:12What a scene there on Saturday all day with the game day show there.
00:17And then just a fantastic classic of a football game, Jerry, I gotta tell you, I thought Gabriel
00:24was fantastic.
00:26He had the 27-yard Tuddy run in the fourth quarter early on that gave him a lead.
00:32But Ohio State went down the field and kicked a field goal.
00:39And I think it was about a 40-yarder or something.
00:41But then Oregon got down and kicked one, Atticus Savington kicked one, and that was the difference.
00:47But for me, Gabriel was the difference in the game.
00:51Not to forget about Jordan James' big game.
00:54I thought he ran the ball terrifically for the Ducks.
00:56But talk about what Gabriel brings to the table for Dan Lanning.
01:01Well, Scott, thanks for having me on.
01:04Dylan Gabriel brings calm to the offense.
01:08He brings composure to the offense.
01:11And I don't care how tight it is or what's going on.
01:14He just has a presence about him.
01:16He's a veteran, so one would expect that.
01:19But you never see him upset.
01:21You don't get a good look at his face on a camera shot.
01:24He just looks in control.
01:26And I think that's the biggest thing that he brings other than the skill set that he has.
01:31I mean, 23 of 34 for 341.
01:34The touchdown ran for 32 yards, four carries, none bigger than that.
01:40Tuddy, what a scene that place is for college football.
01:45Like, I'm watching a game.
01:46I'm just like, what an atmosphere.
01:48What a stadium.
01:49I've been there.
01:50It's just a terrific place to watch a game.
01:53It's the most beautiful setting.
01:56You know, I'd say Pasadena, the Rose Bowl, and the stadium at Eugene Outsen
02:01are the two most beautiful college football stadiums I've ever been to in my life.
02:06Well, I appreciate that.
02:08To be compared to the Rose Bowl at Pasadena, the Granddaddy at Mall,
02:12that's pretty special.
02:13It's unbelievable that 60,000 fans, Scott, can sound as loud as they do.
02:18The configuration of the stadium with an overhang.
02:21We talked to some Ohio State fans afterwards
02:24who said that's the loudest football game they've ever been a part of.
02:27So it's pretty special.
02:29The view, the Cascade Mountains, the Willamette Valley, we're pretty spoiled.
02:33We like it.
02:34And so it's fun to call it our home.
