00:00In the Big Ten on Saturday night inside Ottson Stadium. Two

00:09versus three. Ohio State and Oregon. Game of the year to the

00:13designation after game of the year one in Tuscaloosa. Another

00:18top five tilt between Alabama and Georgia exceeded our

00:22wildest expectations. So too did Saturday down to the closing

00:27seconds in Eugene. Oregon wins outright as a field goal

00:32underdog at home. 3231 over Ohio State. Both quarterbacks

00:38were sensational when you look at the box score, but one very

00:43costly mistake from Will Howard in the final 6 seconds

00:47taking off to run sliding as time expired inside Ottson

00:54Stadium. Oregon picks up a monumental win in a Big Ten

00:59battle against the Buckeyes 3231. And by the way, what

01:04600 what 660 670 total yards passing between these two

01:09quarterbacks here for touchdowns and no interceptions.

01:11It was a really clean game. The interesting thing for me as

01:14it broke down was I thought Ohio State would win this game.

01:16I did, but they're the more talented team, but not

01:18necessarily because we didn't think Oregon had a good

01:20offense. It's just how good that Ohio State defense seems

01:24to be and they got shredded yesterday and sometimes it is

01:26about competition and who you played how you can build up

01:28those statistics, but it wasn't like we were questioning. Ohio

01:31State's defense coming into the season like hey, maybe these

01:33young kids can get it together like no, we expected dominance

01:36right out of the gate. I was really impressed by Oregon for

01:39continue to fire away. Gabriel just made a play after play to

01:42get them back into it. They ran for five yards per carry and

01:45also two rushing touchdowns. I was impressed, but yes, Will

01:48Howard at the end of the game know the time know the clock

01:51know the distance. You even had a timeout at that point where

01:54you could have easily called a quarterback sneak or quarterback

01:57draw ran 10 yards slid down called that timeout for a

02:00legitimate chance or just keep it simple. The five yard

02:03outrout just to get you a little bit closer. He did the

02:05unthinkable because everybody in the stadium knew the time and

02:09it felt like Will Howard just didn't have that clock in his

02:11head and continue to ran all the way down. You might as well

02:14just try to run into the end zone at that point because he

02:16slides down with no time on the clock sort of grabs his head

02:19and away you go. It looks like one of the reporters or maybe

02:22the camera guys is giving a little bit of the business here.

02:24He wasn't happy with after that, but that was a tough game

02:27overall. But again, the takeaways are awesome game.

02:30Let's see the rematch. Both of these teams can still make it

02:32into the college football playoff, which is exactly what

02:34we wanted. You got an unbelievable football game on a

02:37Saturday night with the chance for a rematch for Ohio State to

02:40get revenge and get into the playoff. And also, you know what

02:42that means. If Oregon does run the table themselves and finds

02:45himself in the Big Ten Championship game and loses

02:47that game. Hey, Oregon, it's all good. You're still going to

02:50the college football playoff. I love this season, Ben.
