No. 8 seed Ohio State handed No. 1 Oregon its first loss in dominant fashion Wednesday, winning 41-21 in a College Football Playoff quarterfinal at the Rose Bowl.
The Buckeyes jumped out to a shocking 34-0 first-half lead thanks to four touchdowns of more than 40 yards in the first 22 minutes. Though Oregon scored on the last drive of the second quarter and first drive of the third quarter to cut the lead to 34-15, the Buckeyes slammed the door shut on any hopes of a massive Ducks comeback and won by 20 points.
