EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Dillon Gabriel’s touchdown pass to Gernorris Wilson early in the second half of Oregon’s game against Maryland on Saturday broke Case Keenum’s NCAA record for total touchdowns.
The 3-yard scoring pass gave Gabriel a total of 179 touchdowns for his career. Keenum set the previous record for touchdowns responsible for (155 passes, 23 rushes) at Houston from 2007-11.
Gabriel tied Keenum’s record with a 9-yard pass to Terrance Ferguson late in the first half against the Terrapins.
It was Gabriel’s 146th passing touchdown overall and his 21st scoring pass this season for No. 1 Oregon. He has also rushed for six goals this season.
A sixth-year transfer from Oklahoma, Gabriel has 59 career starts, two shy of former Oregon QB Bo Nix’s NCAA record.
