Ohio State lost to Oregon in October and saw a defense that was thought to be the most talented in years give up 500 yards of total offense to Oregon. Though the defense turned things around after that, Ohio State’s offense was inconsistent, and the units rarely meshed at the same time.

The No. 1 and previously undefeated Ducks, who spent the first half on Wednesday getting torched by big plays on defense and stymied by their ineffective offense, were beaten by the No. 8 Buckeyes, 41-21, in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., in what was a College Football Playoff quarterfinal game.
