The Ohio State Buckeyes defeated the Oregon Ducks 41-21 in the Rose Bowl, avenging their earlier loss to Oregon and advancing to the College Football Playoff semifinals.
Howdy, I’m your host, Austin Knoblauch, filling in for Houston Mitchell. Let's get right to the news. From Andrés Soto: This time, Ohio State left no doubt. The No. 8 seed Buckeyes, with their one-point October loss to No. 1 seed Oregon still on their minds, rose to the occasion and bludgeoned the undefeated Oregon Ducks 41-21 at the Rose Bowl on Wednesday, avenging that loss and advancing to a College Football Playoff semifinal against No. 5 seed Texas.
“After that game, we had a bad taste in our mouth,” Ohio State freshman receiver Jeremiah Smith said. “We just had to come in the next day and see what were the issues, fix the issues, and get on the field and work it. Offensively, we had to get the ball to the perimeter, take shots, and just win our one-on-one matchups. That’s what we did.” Smith set the tone for the Buckeyes on the third play of the game. On second and 10, he took a pass in the backfield off a motion, cut up the field, made the Ducks’ safeties miss as they dove at his ankles and walked into the end zone for a 45-yard touchdown. Two possessions later, Buckeyes quarterback Will Howard stood tall in the pocket and threw a 42-yard dart just out of reach of Oregon’s Brandon Johnson and into the hands of receiver Emeka Egbuka for Ohio State’s second touchdown. Both early scoring drives spanned one minute. Howard finished 17 for 26 for 319 yards and three touchdowns, building on his 311-yard, two-touchdown performance in the first-round win over Tennessee.
