No. 12 Oregon Upsets No. 3 Ohio State Behind CJ Verdell's 3-TD Performance

For the first time since 2015, Oregon won a road game against an opponent ranked in the Associated Press Top 10.

The Ducks defeated No. 3 Ohio State 35-28 at the Horseshoe on Saturday. Making the victory even more impressive is that it came without arguably their two best defensive players.

Defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux (ankle) and linebacker Justin Flowe (foot) did not play. Their absence was certainly felt, as Oregon gave up 612 yards.

Running back CJ Verdell carried the Ducks with 161 yards and two touchdowns on 20 attempts, though. He also caught three passes for 34 yards and a score.
