Oregon Routs Ohio State 41-28 on the Road Behind 38 Straight Points, All but Ending Buckeyes' Playoff Hopes
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Oregon pulled off one of the most stunning wins of the college football season on November 7, reeling off 38 straight points to beat Ohio State 41-28 at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Franklin County.
Head coach Dan Lanning gambled early and often: a fake-punt conversion late in the second quarter led to a touchdown, and another risk on the final play of the first half gave the Ducks the halftime lead. Oregon added a touchdown to open the second half and pushed the margin to 10. Backup quarterback Dylan Raiola led an offense that piled up 395 total yards and scored five touchdowns and a field goal on its last nine drives. Ohio State's offense, with Luke Fahey at quarterback, managed just 74 yards on 40 plays across eight drives during Oregon's barrage.
The 38-0 run was the largest scoring run against Ohio State at home since 1999. The loss was the Buckeyes' third of the season, their first three-loss season since 2011. Ranked 12th in the initial College Football Playoff rankings earlier in the week, Ohio State saw its playoff chances all but ended, while Oregon kept its own hopes alive. (Source: theScore)
