It’s back-to-back big games for the Buckeyes to open the season after a tough night game at Minnesota last Thursday. The Golden Gophers looked impressive from the start, but the Buckeyes came back quickly in the second half and never looked back. The 45-31 win and Clemson’s loss to Georgia moved the OSU up one spot in the rankings.
As for the visiting Ducks, they nearly laid an egg against Fresno State at home in week one. The offense struggled, yet quarterback Anthony Brown Jr. was able to score on a 30-yard TD run to break the deadlock at 24. The Ducks squeaked by 31-24, keeping them in the top 15.
The Shoe will be an extreme challenge for Oregon with the place back to full capacity. Can the Ducks finally break their nine-game losing streak to the Buckeyes?
