No. 23 Oregon overcame a 14-0 first-quarter deficit to score 38 consecutive points, dominating No. 12 Ohio State in a matchup that could effectively eliminate the Buckeyes from College Football Playoff contention.

The Ducks' emphatic response turned the game into a one-sided affair after the early surge by Ohio State. Oregon's 38 unanswered points showcased a complete team effort on both sides of the ball.

The loss deals a severe blow to Ohio State's postseason aspirations, potentially knocking them out of the playoff race with a second defeat on their record.
