Former Oklahoma Sooners star player is breaking records that should have been held for much longer

The Oklahoma Sooners have had some very good quarterbacks come through their program over the last 10-20 years.
Of course, there is Baker Mayfield of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Jalen Hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles, Kyler Murray of the Arizona Cardinals, and you can probably throw Dillon Gabriel in that conversation soon, too, who now plays for the Oregon Ducks.
Gabriel started his career with the UCF Knights and then moved on to the Sooners, where he played under Brent Venables and Jeff Lebby. While Gabriel did transfer to the Ducks, Sooners fans still keep up with him a lot, as he is many fans' former favorite player.
Well, while it wasn't with the Sooners, he just made college football history with the Ducks, and it's something worth a congratulations from every Sooners fan. It's a record being broken that everyone thought would hold a lot longer in retrospect.
According to On3 Sports, Gabriel has now set the new FBS record for touchdowns with 179. That's an incredible feat, and he still has a few more games remaining, including the playoffs, where the Ducks look to be by far the best team in college football.
If he can string together some big-time games, the former Sooners can create a record that will be very hard for anyone else to beat. He's one of the best college football players we have seen this decade, and he will always be appreciated by Sooners fans for what he did during his time in Crimson and Cream.
