Entering the game as a two-touchdown favorite, No. 3 Ohio State never held a lead during No. 12 Oregon's 35-28 win yesterday afternoon in sun-soaked Ohio Stadium.
Losers of two of their last three games dating back to last season, Ohio State's defense has been an Achilles heel and yesterday was more of the same as Kerry Coombs' group was overmatched in both scheme and execution for most of the afternoon.
Offensively, that put a ton of pressure on Buckeye quarterback C.J. Stroud and the rest of the offense and while the unit put up a ridiculous 612 yards of total offense, poor execution in key moments kept the point total to just 28.
