Welcome to The Hodgepodge.
I can’t say it’s totally surprising Ohio State beat Oregon in the Rose Bowl. The manner in which it happened, though, is one that totally caught me off-guard. Ohio State took a commanding 34-0 lead on the No. 1, lone undefeated team in the country and the contest was essentially over before Dan Lanning and company could make halftime adjustments. I can neither confirm nor deny whether OSU served their players halftime meals or not, but if they did, it’s all but certain roasted Duck was on the menu.
Jeremiah Smith was unstoppable, regardless of who or how many Oregon defensive backs were guarding him.
