Ohio State led 14-0 on Saturday. Then Oregon rallied for a 41-28 win, dropping the Buckeyes to 6-3 overall and 4-2 in the Big Ten. Bo Jackson ran for touchdowns of 16 and 8 yards in the first quarter.

The game turned before halftime. On fourth-and-9, Oregon linebacker Teitum Tuioti took the snap in punt formation and threw 30 yards to Matayo Uiagalelei. Dierre Hill Jr. then scored from 9 yards out, and the Ducks led 17-14 at the half.

“I think really the way the game changed was, you know, we lost those two possessions there in the second quarter.”

  • Hill: two rushing touchdowns, including a 48-yarder

Buckeyes

Ohio State fans want answers after the Buckeyes' second straight loss

Fans are asking what needs to change after the preseason No. 1 Buckeyes dropped to 6-3. At one downtown Columbus bar, a whiteboard read “FIRE RYAN DAY.” Others aren't there yet. “I've always been the biggest Ryan Day defender,” said a fan named John, who still called Saturday “a huge debacle.”

“I'm not going to sit here and point fingers at one group of guys that are coming up short because we're all coming up short.”

Ryan Day, Ohio State head coach

It's uncharted territory for this generation of Buckeyes. Luke Fahey, a true freshman, is the one carrying an offense built around quarterback Julian Sayin. Saturday's loss also set marks not seen in decades.
