Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel may have bolstered his Heisman Trophy candidacy with a record-setting performance on Saturday night.

Gabriel threw his 179th career touchdown pass to mark the most in FBS history while leading the Ducks to an 39-18 win over visiting Maryland.

The previous record of 178 career passing touchdowns had been held by Houston's Case Keenum since 2011.

The historic pass came with just under eight minutes left in the third quarter as Gabriel connected with offensive lineman Gernorris Wilson in the end zone.
