OSU missed 2 FG's and had a 3rd one mysteriously blocked by Shel's cheddar bay biscuit boy. Dropped 2 INT's, and just kept shooting ourselves in the foot. Another close one lost late by just letting it slip away.
The Oregon Ducks edged out the Ohio State Buckeyes in a thrilling, one-point victory with a final score of 25-24 after converting a 2pt conversion after a TD with 19 seconds to go in the game.
The game was defined by Oregon’s strong passing game, led by quarterback Dillon Gabriel, who threw for 319 yards despite two interceptions. Ohio State initially had the upper hand, leading in the first quarter and holding their own throughout, supported by a balanced offense with Will Howard throwing two touchdown passes. Both teams' defenses made a significant impact, with Oregon’s Kobe Savage grabbing a key interception, and Ohio State's Sonny Styles and Jack Sawyer delivering critical tackles for loss. The Ducks struggled with their ground game, gaining no net rushing yards, yet compensated with effective passing plays and timely red-zone conversions. Ohio State, meanwhile, found success on the ground, amassing 126 rushing yards, but struggled to maintain offensive consistency in the second half. Special teams also played a role, as Ohio State’s missed field goals would prove costly in such a close contest.
