Oregon's Ohio State Triumph Is Massive for the Ducks—and the Entire Pac-12

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Mario Cristobal cleared out his players.

Out of the way! Out of the way!

He parted the seas. His security detail hung back.

And there he was, alone, no one within five feet of him, facing thousands of green-clad Oregon fans.

Then he did it. He let it out.

He dropped into a squatting position, slung back his right arm and swung it through the air in a celebratory uppercut that would topple any human in its path.

There was no planting of a flag this time around.
