Ohio State avenged its regular season loss to Oregon with a dominant performance in the Rose Bowl, leading from start to finish in a 41-21 victory.
After losing to Oregon in the regular season, Ohio State quickly made sure it wouldn’t suffer the same result against the Ducks in the Rose Bowl . Ohio State made up for its 32-31 loss in Eugene and then some as the Buckeyes dominated the Ducks in their College Football Playoff quarterfinals rematch, scoring the first 34 points of the game en route to a 41-21 win in the Rose Bowl .
Will Howard threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns while Jeremiah Smith continued his spectacular freshman season with seven catches for 187 yards and two touchdowns to lead Ohio State to victory.The game got off to a roaring start for the Buckeyes as Gee Scott Jr. gained 30 yards on a catch out of the backfield on the first play from scrimmage and Smith walked into the end zone after making a defender miss on a 45-yard touchdown two plays later.Ohio State got right back into Oregon territory on its second possession as its defense forced a 3-and-out and Smith caught a 29-yard pass over two defenders, but the drive ended with an OSU punt after pressure by Oregon’s defensive front led to two straight busted plays for the Buckeyes. The Buckeyes’ defense forced another 3-and-out on Oregon’s second possession and got the ball back at Oregon’s 47-yard line after a 31-yard punt by the Ducks. Ohio State took advantage of the advantageous field position that time as Howard connected with Egbuka on a beautiful 42-yard deep-ball touchdown, giving the Buckeyes a 14-0 lead less than halfway through the first quarter.After Ohio State’s defense forced another punt, Jayden Fielding made a 46-yard field goal – tying his season-long – to extend the Buckeyes’ lead to 17-0 just 10 seconds into the second quarter. Following a turnover on downs by Oregon that gave the Buckeyes the ball back at midfield again, Howard connected with Smith for a 43-yard touchdown that made it 24-0 less than 20 minutes into the gam
