No. 3 Oregon secured a thrilling 32-31 victory over No. 2 Ohio State with a last-minute field goal by Atticus Sappington. The game featured six lead changes, with both teams putting on an impressive offensive display. Quarterback Dillon Gabriel led Oregon to victory with 341 passing yards and a rushing touchdown. Ohio State had a chance to win the game in the final seconds, but a crucial decision by QB Will Howard led to the clock running out before they could attempt a game-winning field goal.
The matchup between these two top-ranked teams could potentially be a preview of the Big Ten championship game later this season. Both Oregon and Ohio State are considered favorites in their respective conferences, along with Penn State. The loss for Ohio State also highlights the struggles that Big Ten teams face when making cross-country trips, with visiting teams having a poor record in these matchups so far this season.
Oregon’s win over Ohio State sets up an exciting future for both teams as they continue their quest for a spot in the College Football Playoff. The Ducks will face Purdue next, while Ohio State has a bye week before taking on Nebraska. The intense competition and dramatic finish of this game have left fans eagerly anticipating future matchups between these two powerhouse programs.
