The Ohio State Buckeyes beat the Oregon Ducks in the Rose Bowl. To be quite frank, it wasn’t even close for most of the game as the Buckeyes came out on fire and ended the first quarter and a half up 31-0.
While the Ducks did respond in the second half and even scored a gutsy touchdown to end out the second quarter and provide some momentum into halftime, it was far from enough on Wednesday.
The Buckeyes ended up winning the game 41-21.
Let’s just say there didn’t seem to be much malice between the two teams following the battle. Ducks star WR Tez Johnson told the Buckeyes QB Will Howard to “win it all for your team” after the game.

There were several Ducks that ended up hanging around and congratulated the Buckeyes. It seemed like an acknowledgment of just how good of a game Ohio State played in the Rose Bowl.
The Buckeyes, who lost by one earlier on in the season to Oregon, played a near-flawless game and will now get to take on the Texas Longhorns in just over a week in the College Football Playoff semifinal.
