Oregon coach Dan Lanning has led the Ducks to a perfect 13-0 record and a Big Ten Conference title in their first season with the league. Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel was named the Big Ten Player of the Year as well as was one of the finalists for the Heisman Trophy.
The last time that Oregon and Ohio State played each ended in a 32-31 victory for the Ducks in Eugene back on Oct. 12. Gabriel threw for 341 passing yards and two touchdowns on 23-for-34 completions in the win.
"Every time I went and looked at his eyes tonight I saw a guy who was composed and ready for his next moment. He played really really well tonight in some really big moments.”
- Oregon coach Dan Lanning on Gabriel
His favorite target in Oregon wide receiver Tez Johnson had seven receptions for 75 receiving yards and one touchdown while Oregon wide receiver Evan Stewart also had seven receptions for 149 receiving yards and one touchdown against the Buckeyes.
While Gabriel did run in for one touchdown against Ohio State, most of Oregon's ground attack was controlled by Oregon running back Jordan James who finished with 115 rushing yards and one touchdown on 23 carries.
Oregon's defense had two turnovers on two forced fumbles while Ohio State gave up eight penalties for 70 yards. An offensive pass-interference call on Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith pushed Ohio State back late in the fourth quarter. With the clock dwindling down for the final shot for the Buckeyes, Ohio State quarterback Will Howard took off running and slide as time expired. Why he didn't make a throw for the end zone was the question that was on everyone's mind.
“We could sit here and look at one play here, one play there or complain about a call, but we’re not going to do that. We’re going to own it."
