ESPN: Dillon Gabriel the ‘X-Factor’ for the Oklahoma Sooners in 2022

What did ESPN have to say about the Oklahoma Sooners heading into the 2022 season?

Football is a team sport. It’s arguably the ultimate team sport. While the quarterback takes on most of the weight for a team’s success, no quarterback wins alone or carries a team. Even the best to ever do it had some good to great talent around them and coaching that could maximize that talent.

But at the same time, limited quarterback play can hinder a team unlike any other position on the field. That’s why the addition of [autotag]Dillon Gabriel[/autotag] to this team in the offseason was so important. The Sooners dipped into the transfer portal once again and brought in a good quarterback with a chance to have a career year with Oklahoma.

Getting ready for the start of the 2022 season, ESPN released their top 25 power rankings, which included a discussion on their “X-Factor” and biggest question mark heading into the season.
