Dillon Gabriel is expected to succeed Nix as the Ducks’ starting quarterback, but while playing at Oklahoma, he was in a much different system last year. He averaged 9.8 air yards per attempt, had 53 designed run attempts to Nix’s 30, posted a much-lower well-thrown rate of 80%, and released the ball in 2.59 seconds compared to 2.43 for Nix. He also threw pickable passes nearly three times as often as Nix (as a percentage of his throws) and made fewer of his throws in structure: His “in-design” rate was 73.7%.
