Make no mistake, Oregon is a really good football team and combined with Ohio State's self-inflicted wounds, the Ducks had just enough to outlast the Buckeyes in a thriller.
Josh Simmons and Will Kacmarek were injured in Ohio State’s loss to Oregon, who beat the Buckeyes without their star defensive end for a second straight meeting with Ohio State.
Ryan Day says the Buckeyes have to “leave no doubt” after a pass interference penalty and a slide that came too late for a timeout cost Ohio State a game-winning field goal...
The Buckeyes never began a drive from further than their own 26-yard line, the defense forced zero sacks or turnovers and OSU had nearly three times as many penalties as Oregon.
Ohio State’s defense faltered in its first real test of the season while Josh Simmons’ likely season-ending injury could be the biggest loss from OSU’s 32-31 loss at Oregon.
Oregon head coach Dan Lanning believes Ohio State will "continue to compete and be in great shape the rest of the season" following the Buckeyes' 32-31 loss to the Ducks.
Ryan Day disagrees with the offensive pass interference against Jeremiah Smith on Ohio State's final drive but said "It shouldn't come down to one play" for the Buckeyes.
