Oregon vs Ohio State

Oregon Ducks quarterback scrambles against Ohio State at Autzen Stadium, 2024

32-31 at Autzen. 60,129 fans. The biggest game in stadium history.

Oregon is 2-10 all-time against Ohio State, but recent history has been much more competitive. The Ducks have split the last 4 meetings 2-2. Both wins came in the regular season (2021 in Columbus, 2024 at Autzen), and both losses came in the postseason (2009 Rose Bowl, 2014 CFP Natty, 2024 Rose Bowl). The Nov 7, 2026 game in Columbus is the biggest game on the schedule.

Ohio State is the measuring stick. Oregon has proven it can beat them (2021 in Columbus, 2024 at Autzen) but has never beaten them when it mattered most (2009 Rose Bowl, 2014 CFP Championship, 2024 Rose Bowl). The November 7 game in Columbus is the biggest regular season game in program history.

Rose Bowl, CFP Quarterfinal. Same team, different result. Ohio State came in angry and Oregon committed 3 turnovers. Will Howard threw for 319 yards and 3 TDs. The regular-season win was the best night of the year. The rematch was the worst. Ohio State went on to win the national championship.

2021

Oregon 35, Ohio State 28

Week 2 in Columbus. 100,000 hostile fans in the Horseshoe. Nobody gave Oregon a chance. CJ Verdell rushed for 161 yards and 2 TDs. The biggest road win in program history. Cristobal's signature moment before he left for Miami.

2014

Ohio State 42, Oregon 20

The first-ever CFP National Championship game. Ezekiel Elliott ran for 246 yards and 4 TDs. Third-string QB Cardale Jones threw for 242. Oregon had the Heisman winner in Mariota. It didn't matter. Ohio State had 9 future NFL draft picks on the field that night.

2009

Ohio State 26, Oregon 17

Rose Bowl. Chip Kelly's first postseason game as head coach. Oregon earned its first trip to Pasadena since 1994 but couldn't solve Terrelle Pryor in the second half. LeGarrette Blount didn't play (suspended since the opener). Being back in the Rose Bowl after 15 years mattered more than the final score.
