The Ducks, coming off a 10-win season, entered the game as sizable underdogs against the Buckeyes, who were the favorites to win the Big Ten and make a run at the College Football Playoff. But Oregon showed they were no pushovers, putting together a dominant performance both offensively and defensively.
The game was a back-and-forth affair, with both teams trading blows throughout. However, Oregon's defense, led by the ferocious Noah Sewell, shut down the Ohio State offense in the fourth quarter, forcing turnovers and creating havoc in the Buckeye backfield. The Ducks' offense, led by quarterback Bo Nix, was equally impressive, racking up over 500 yards of total offense.
