[WATCH] Oregon Quarterback Dillon Gabriel Reveals ‘Fiery’ Practices After Idaho
The Oregon Ducks did not play up to their potential on Saturday in a 24-14 win over the Idaho Vandals. What were the biggest takeaways from Oregon Ducks quarterback Dillon Gabriel in today’s press conference and how do they plan to get better moving forward?
Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel admitted that there “is a lot to clean up” in the aftermath of the Duck’s 24-14 win over Idaho on Saturday. Gabriel said, “It starts with me.” He mentioned the three sacks that Oregon allowed and said he has to do a better job of getting the ball out.
Gabriel also reiterated that his hand “feels good”. He said he has been icing it and is “ready to roll”. Gabriel injured his hand on a helmet during Saturday’s game, but it doesn’t appear to be an issue going forward.
In response to fans saying Oregon should have won by more than the margin they did, Gabriel noted that there were “a bunch of missed opportunities.” The Ducks had two 4th down conversations fail and multiple penalties had drives going backwards. “You have to get better”, Gabriel says.
Dillon Gabriel said that it has been a “fiery” week of practice and that the Ducks are looking to turn what they struggled on into a strength heading forward.
Watch Gabriel’s interview below.
Oregon Ducks quarterback Dillon Gabriel is one of the most hyped-up transfers nationwide and with good reason. He has been good numbers at every stop. Gabriel is in his first year in Eugene after spending the last two years at Oklahoma. Before Oklahoma, Gabriel spent three seasons at UCF.
Heading into this season, Gabriel has tallied 125 passing touchdowns and 26 interceptions in his five seasons in college football. After seeing Bo Nix transfer from Auburn to Oregon and be phenomenal the last two seasons, fans have high hopes for the same with Gabriel. Gabriel opened the season as the Heisman trophy favorite. He is currently the front-runner with odds of +800 on DraftKings sportsbook.
For Dillon Gabriel, being at Oregon is a golden opportunity to flourish. He has great talent and great coaching staff around him. Ducks offensive coordinator Will Stein helped get the best of Bo Nix last season and there’s no reason to think he can’t do the same with Gabriel.
Oregon has a date with the Boise State Broncos on Saturday night at Autzen Stadium. Coming off a disappointing offensive performance against Idaho, this is a great “get right” spot for the Ducks.
While Boise State dazzled in their first game by putting up 56 points and rushing for 371 yards, the Bronco’s defense allowed 45 points to Georgia Southern. Georgia Southern put up 461 total yards and put a real scare into the heavily favored Broncos.
The Ducks have a great opportunity to get the Broncos at a time when they have not yet figured out the defensive side of the ball. Oregon will look to put the Idaho game behind them with a good performance against Boise State.

Idaho angler reels in record 43.25-inch lake trout at Payette Lake
MISSOULA, Mont. — An Idaho Falls angler is back in the Idaho record books after landing a record-setting lake trout at Payette Lake.
Idaho Fish and Game said Dylan Smith caught and released a 43.25-inch lake trout on May 2, setting a new state catch-and-release record for the species. The fish surpassed the previous record of 42 inches.
The catch marks Smith’s second appearance in Idaho’s record books. He previously held the state catch-and-release lake trout record after landing a trophy fish in 2018 before that mark was later broken.
According to Fish and Game, Payette Lake has become one of Idaho’s premier lake trout fisheries thanks to years of management efforts aimed at improving both lake trout and kokanee populations.

Boise’s North End finds new way to mark Pride after Idaho law halts flag display
Pride Month looks different this June along Boise’s Harrison Boulevard, where a long-standing tradition of hanging Pride flags on lamp posts has been put on hold after a new state law restricted which flags can be flown on government property.
For several years, Pride flags lined lamp posts along Harrison Boulevard in Boise’s North End neighborhood. But Idaho House Bill 561, signed by Gov. Brad Little in March, restricts which flags can be flown on government property, including the City of Boise’s Harrison lamp posts.
In response, a group of neighbors formed Pride North End and launched a distribution effort to help residents show support from their own front yards. The group has been making Pride flags and yard signs available to people who want to display them at home.
“I thought that I would…be a personal example of ‘yes, this is what I do.’ This is what I believe in,” said Edna Schochat, a North End resident.
Pride North End has already distributed more than 900-yard signs and 250 flags. The group’s original donation goal was around $2,000 to order 100 flags and 200 yard signs, but it has exceeded that GoFundMe goal, reaching $10,000 worth of donations.
The group plans to continue holding public flag and sign distributions through the end of the month.
“We cannot just say something without doing something that proves that we mean what we say,” Schochat said.
Pride North End said any leftover funds after materials are distributed will go to local LGBTQ+ nonprofits. A link to the group’s GoFundMe can be found here.
