Skip Bayless ALL CAPS was excited about Dillon Gabriel’s football debut in Oklahoma against UTEP during his shot at Lincoln Riley and USC.
It took absolutely no time for Skip Bayles and Oklahoma football fans like him to go all out on the Dillon Gabriel hype train.
There was little doubt that the quarterback from the UCF was really good. He was prolific with the Golden Knights before he moved to Norman.
He ran for the touchdown to open the scoring and then threw a six-yard pass to — Willis to add to Oklahoma’s first-quarter advantage.
Bayless was in all ecstasy.
Skip Bayless couldn’t contain the excitement of Dillon Gabriel and Oklahoma
“Ladies and gentlemen, meet Dillon Gabriel. Who needs a Lincoln Stinkin??? Soon still close. Except for now, we’ll actually have a defense equivalent to our attack. ENJOY 50-48, USC,” Bayliss tweeted.
Gabriel was 8 of 13 for 164 yards and three total touchdowns in the first half.
The Sooners made an excellent hire to get Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables to take over the program. They also got powerful additions like Gabriel in the transfer portal. There are many reasons to be excited about how the program will recover from the loss of Lincoln Riley to USC.
But Bayliss may want to slow down his rant about the former coach and his new program until Oklahoma faces stiffer competition from UTEP, a team that ranks 119th on ESPN and had a 94th-ranked defense in 2021.
Riley is irrelevant to his ex now. Fans will one day soon realize that they can be excited about the midfielder and their team without sounding like a bitter ex on Twitter.
Then again, college football hate burns long and hard.
