In each of Ohio State's last two matchups against Oregon, the Buckeyes faced the challenge of slowing down one of the country's most potent offenses.
On New Year's Day in 2010, the Ducks brought quarterback Jeremiah Masoli and a host of weapons in LaMichael James, LeGarrette Blount and Kenjon Barner to the Rose Bowl matchup against the Buckeyes. They boasted the No. 8 scoring offense in the country and entered the postseason averaging a hair over 42 points in their final six games of the regular season.
Five years later, Ohio State faced Oregon once again, this time in the first-ever College Football Playoff National Championship.
