Oregon Answers Ohio State's 14-0 Start with 38 Straight, Wins 41-28
Bo Jackson ran 16 yards for a touchdown, then 8 yards for another, and by 1:20 of the first quarter Ohio State led 14-0. After that Oregon scored the next 38 points. Oregon beat Ohio State 41-28, and both teams end up at 6-3.
Oregon got going slowly. Gage Hurych kicked a 33-yard field goal in the second quarter, then Dierre Hill Jr. ran 9 yards for a touchdown with 1:25 left in the half, and Jamari Johnson scored from 2 yards out as the half expired. That was a 17-14 Oregon lead and the only lead change of the day. Oregon led all the way from there.
The second half was one-way traffic. Hill ran 48 yards for a touchdown at 13:11 of the third quarter, and Dylan Raiola threw an 11-yard touchdown to Dakorien Moore at 6:37 and a 15-yarder to Brandon Smith at 12:02 of the fourth, making it 38-14. Raiola finished 25 of 40 for 257 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions.
Ohio State did not go quietly at the end. Luke Fahey threw a 13-yard touchdown to Jeremiah Smith with 3:25 left, and Fahey ran in the two-point try. Hurych answered with a 40-yard field goal at 1:08, and Fahey found Nate Roberts from 15 yards at 0:44 for the last score. Fahey was 36 of 50 for 360 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. It was a lot of yards to be on the wrong end of a 13-point loss.
For fantasy, Fahey's 26.4 led everybody, with Smith at 26.3 on seven catches for 133 yards. Both were on the losing side.
