Oregon defeated Ohio State 41-28 at the Horseshoe, ending the Buckeyes' back-to-back double-digit losses for the first time in 22 years. Head coach Ryan Day said his team now has to 'weather this storm.' The Buckeyes, who debuted at No. 12 in the initial College Football Playoff rankings, face long odds of earning an at-large playoff berth or reaching the Big Ten championship game even if they win their final three regular-season games. True freshman quarterback Luke Fahey made his second consecutive start in place of injured starter Julian Sayin, throwing for 360 yards but also an interception with 1:06 remaining.
Day said Ohio State was unable to get star wide receiver Jeremiah Smith the ball and that 'it all starts with the staff and then it goes to the players.'.
