Never miss Ducks4Life
COLUMBUS — Forget the trolls. Forget Oregon being written off. Forget being left for dead at least three times by Halloween. That 41-28 demolition of Ohio State was just what Duck Nation needed.
Oregon came off the ropes, down 14-0 early, and scored 38 unanswered points to dominate the Buckeyes more than the final score suggests.
This was no lucky break. It was pure intent hammered home in the trenches, with play-caller Jay Johnson’s max protect schemes covering for backup QB Dylan Raiola’s notoriously slow processing time in the pocket. It was injury-riddled RB and WR rooms showing next-man-up grit, and a defensive front getting home for two sacks.
Matayo Uiagalelei’s fake-punt reception from Teitum Tuioti was the spark; from there, it was Oregon taking control the rest of the way.
