The stakes were high as the Oregon Ducks hit the road to face the Big Ten rival Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus, and a slow start had fans fearing the worst.
Similar to recent weeks, the Ducks just needed time to ease into the game. From the second quarter onward, Oregon dominated the Buckeyes, winning 41-28, and that final score might be deceiving. The Ducks shut down Jeremiah Smith until the reserves came into the game, and Dylan Raiola delivered time and time again.
Raiola completed 25 of 40 pass attempts for 257 yards and two touchdowns, which went to Dakorien Moore and Brandon Smith in the second half. Dierre Hill Jr. also relished his opportunity as the lead back, rushing for 72 yards and two scores.
A fake punt late in the first half, which
saw Teitum Tuioti complete a pass to Matayo Uiagalelei for 30 yards, flipped the momentum in the game, and Oregon never looked back.
By the end of the game, Ohio Stadium was nearly empty, but the Ducks fans that made the long trip to Columbus were there to celebrate. Here are the top reactions from fans on social media to Oregon's drubbing of Ohio State in an upset win.
