Penn State's Abdul Carter was named defensive
player of the year and Indiana's Curt Cignetti coach of the year
in voting by coaches and media.
Gabriel has completed 73.5% of his passes for 3,275 yards and 24
touchdowns with six interceptions in his only season with the
Ducks.
Carter moved from linebacker to defensive end this season and
has made 19.5 tackles for loss, including 10 sacks.
Cignetti has led ninth-ranked Indiana to its most wins in
program history in his first season. The Hoosiers are 11-1 and
were as high as No. 5 in The Associated Press college football
poll, their highest ranking since they were No. 4 at the end of
their 1967 Rose Bowl season.
