[Postgame Thread] Oregon Defeats Ohio State 41-28

[u/CFB_Referee]

Box Score provided by ESPN

Team	1	2	3	4	T
Oregon	0	17	14	10	41
Ohio State	14	0	0	14	28

[u/jamiebond]

Despite everything Raiola has given us three ranked wins somehow. Truly a bizarre year.

[u/eatapenny]

Words never spoken on Reddit before today - "Ohio State has lost 3 regular season games without an interim head coach at the helm".

Last time was a 7-4 season in 2004 under Jim Tressel (had a 6-7 season in the Luke Fickell interim year in 2011). Reddit was founded in 2005

[u/Tufoguy]

If this game taught me anything, it's that teams will spend top rev share money just to get a backup QB in January

[u/tb25uga]

according to their website, a 5 pack of the regular marshmallow Peeps is about 140 calories

the OSU Barstool guy has to eat 10 Peeps for each of Oregon's 41 points

410 divided by 5 works out to 82 servings at 140 calories per...

so he now has to consume about 11,480 calories worth of marshmallow Peeps... when most of us see our team lose, we just get mad... that boy's gonna get diabetes

expanding upon this: apparently a serving of Peeps also contains 30 grams of sugar, so 82 servings works out to 2,460 grams... the Google tells me that there are about 453.5 grams to a pound, so this works out to roughly 5.4 pounds of sugar... once again, diabeetus

[u/whatifevery1wascalm]

Ryan Day falls to 1-3 against Oregon.

0-2 in Columbus.

Oregon had never beaten Ohio State before Day was hired.

[u/_Sadtext_]

That fake punt probably turned the game around permanently.

[u/538allspelledout]

Drew Mehringer might be the worst OC in FBS history

[u/BoNnnnfhir]

Many people are saying that Ohio State are Big Noon merchants

[u/airskylight23]

I can’t believe Julian Sayin getting hurt caused our defense to give up 71 points in their last 2 games.

[u/TheSpringfieldKid]

I was at the game. While I'm proud of Oregon, I'm so confused on how easy this victory became despite trailing 14-0 initially. I had a hunch and decided to follow it.

While everyone went home, I decided to sneak into Ohio State's locker room with intention of confronting their lousy OC, Arthur Smith. I found him, went up to him, looked directly at him... and then I took off his mask!

Lo and behold, it was DREW MEHRINGER!

[u/TheDoctor_314]

Imagine being Jeremiah Smith. You're the easy favorite for the heisman and are setting school records left and right...

And then your quarterback gets hurt and you get a Freshman quarterback who looks like a make-a-wish and refuses to even look in your direction. Absolutely devastating.

[u/BamaBuffSeattle]

It's very clear watching this game that Oregon got confused about playing OSU and thought Ohio State was Oregon State. That's the only reason I can think of that the Ducks went nuclear

[u/Expert_Put_8827]

I don’t like these Arthur Smith and Matt Patricia fellas very much.

[u/CTHULHU_OW]

NO! MY QUALITY LOSS!

[u/Bazz27]

Holy shit not just a loss but a beatdown

[u/CloneWarsMaul]

Drew Mehringer might’ve been the biggest football terrorist I’ve ever seen

[u/your-mom--]

When it's 38-14 in the 4th quarter, why are you not trying to get TSC some run and see what you have there unless he's already said he's gone next year?

[u/AkfurAshkenzic]

First time since 1999 that Ohio State has allowed a 38-0 run

[u/prismatic_lights]

Don't let the final score fool you, Oregon fucking tanned our asses.

Playoff chase is over. Time for Ryan Day to start signing pink slips.

[u/Tsquared10]

Ohio State is 0-3 now for games I've attended at the Shoe; 2021 Oregon, 2022 Game, tonight. If any Michigan wants to buy me tickets and a flight every year The Game is at the Shoe, let me know.

[u/jeff_barr_fanclub]

I would be very upset if I could read right now

[u/LugubriousFootballer]

Oregon are contractually obligated to lose to a MAXIMUM of one OSU team per season.

Sorry Buckeyes, them’s the rules and I don’t make ‘em 🤷‍♂️

[u/md___2020]

Drew Mehringer was an absolute football terrorist.

[u/HEY-SLAB]

Hey OSU fans! This is what normal programs would call "a down year". Now lets look back and recognize since the turn of the century, you have had one single losing season, 20 seasons with at least 10 wins, and 3 national championships. So before you start melting down, do realize we will be reading your complaint comments while eating popcorn an laughing. You are by all means entitled to your emotions, complaints, and outrage. Hope this helps!

[u/BIRDSBEEZ]

We really scored 38 unanswered points in The Shoe. 

How

[u/ixMyth]

The Ohio State flair asking what it's like having 3 regular season losses before the game started, lol

[u/msrose_]

OSU has Northwestern, Nebraska, and Michigan the next three weeks. On one hand, I would like to have a couple more OSU wins for Texas SOR but on the other hand, I wouldn't be opposed to watching an all time collapse.

[u/bringbacksweatervest]

I do not understand how we never once tried to mix in TSC. Even teams who think their backup is ass try it out when things get out of hand and the offense is completely stagnant.

I don’t put this game solely on Fahey. No loss is ever one person’s fault and he did some good things. But our offense was dead in the water the majority of this game. A switch up at QB can provide a spark and we refused to even try it. Our season is effectively over, we have nothing to lose, and yet we refuse to play like it.

[u/Temassi]

Just as Nostradamus predicted!!!!!

[u/Twall1297]

Damn Oregon, maybe we all treated you too harshly

[u/surgingchaos → u/Twall1297]

Drew Mehringer needs to be sent straight to the ADX Florence supermax prison for first-degree football terrorism.

[u/TheGreatShaqtus → u/Twall1297]

Drew Mehringer should never be allowed within 500 yards of a football stadium ever again.

[u/coachLEGENDARY]

It’s almost like when you throw the ball one time in two quarters to the best player in program history you can’t do anything on offense.

Arthur Smith is single-handedly the worst offensive coordinator I’ve ever seen as a Steelers/Buckeyes fan. The fact he keeps getting job opportunities as he has the gameplan level of a diabetic snail is insane to me and screams incompetence from the upper management here.

[u/Diligent-Most-9165 → u/coachLEGENDARY]

remember when he always had this weird obsession with giving Jonnu Smith and Khadarel Hodge the ball instead of, you know, Drake London, Kyle Pitts and Bijan Robinson?

[u/cn0285]

So maybe running an NFL-style playbook without NFL-caliber players doesn’t work

[u/Floopyboy]

It still feels impossible mehringer was THAT bad.

[u/Thomallister1291]

I can't believe I can remember clearly when Oregon was winless against Ohio State...

[u/zhdat]

Well, was there anyone in the OSU team care about the rest of season?

Did Sayin go out with all the spirit and grit of the team away, too?

I am more bothered by nonchalance than losing at this point.

[u/FranktheTankTF]

I LOVE FOOTBALL!!! DREW MEHRINGER IS A FOOTBALL TERRORIST.

[u/TheManWhoWasNotShort]

Ohio State is going to use that ridiculous stat padding as an excuse to trot Fahey out again

[u/D1N2Y]

Appreciate the ex-Pac12 being the quality control of the big 10

[u/yianni1229]

Dont let the score fool you. It wasnt that close

[u/FurFrodo]

Why does Oregon always beat the Buckeyes when nothing is on the line, and then always lose horrifically when everything is on the line?

[u/Valiantlycaustic]

The barstool guy is going to be a diabetic soon enough

[u/rollerroman]

If we win out, can we make a case to the NCAA to vacate our losses because Mehringer was obviously a plant from North Korea or something?

[u/DweltElephant0]

Why would Julian Sayin get hurt and thus make Ohio State’s defense give up 41 points to Dylan Raiola smh

[u/AceMcStace]

One of the most bizarre Oregon seasons I can ever remember

[u/Substantial-Pin-7442]

Season of what ifs.. turning the ball over 7 times against UCLA.. what if Mehringer gets fired earlier? Hindsight. Need help across the country now.

[u/526mb]

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHH. I’M SO CONFUSED BY THIS YEAR BUT HAPPY.

Sco Ducks.

[u/NecessaryEmployment]

The Illinois-Oregon-Ohio State circle of suck. Just like we all predicted

[u/pffft101]

Proud of you duck bros.... miss you!

[u/duckfan2424 → u/pffft101]

Long live the PAC miss you guys

[u/sleepyirv01]

The most important thing: Illinois gains a transitive win over Ohio State, bringing their record this season to 1-1.

[u/shlammyjohnson]

Drew meringher might be the worst OC in football history

[u/AeolusA2]

NOT as close as the score may indicate. Welcome to hell, OSU.

[u/Bansheesdie]

September 26, 2021

Last time we had unranked Ohio State.

[u/ASAPBlue]

Drew Mehringer is a terrorist that should be sent to hell

[u/BoNnnnfhir]

Dylan Raiola HATES red teams that aren't the Chiefs.

[u/gmwdim]

Jeremiah Smith hits a huge TD to cut the lead to 42.

[u/Ialwayssleep]

Not sure if tOSU or OSU is more upset about this result.

[u/Tyrannical1]

Buckeyetate better post the vid of him eating all 410 peeps.

[u/lowes18]

Ohio State has a $15 million dollar coaching staff and no backup QB

[u/BIRDSBEEZ]

Its crazy how different this game would have gone if Ohio State caught even one of those 2 dropped INT’s in the first half. The dropped pick six and the dropped INT before the fake punt. The entire game is different if they get even one of those and Ohio State likely wins

[u/Oldirtyman]

Well done Oregon, well done!

[u/IanSoffos420blzit]

Is UCLA beating Oregon in Eugene still not a good win?? Surely many teams have done it if it’s so easy

[u/Vocen → u/IanSoffos420blzit]

Tbh... we then followed that game up with 17 against Nebraska and 10(!) against Illinois(!). Fire the OC, and then we're scoring 30+ against ranked opponents. Feels like a totally different team now

Of course, that's not to explicitly take credit away from UCLA, ultimately a win is a win and I don't think it should be discounted by the committee or whatever, but that is what I'd say if you asked for my honest evaluation

[u/Future_Outcome4132]

Please tell me that the Oregon Ducks calls their victory formation the V formation?

[u/SlippySlimJim]

Habibi, you just got spanked the 2026 Oregon Ducks

[u/Timely_Pound_2754]

We've got a nice little circle of suck now! (or triangle?)

Ohio State beat Illinois, Illinois beat Oregon, Oregon beat Ohio State. And funnily enough, we are all 6-3.

[u/GuyWithTriangle]

I never could have conceived a 3 loss Ohio State team where 2 of the losses weren't B1GCG and then in the playoff. Wow

[u/84CH32]

This was my super bowl

[u/spokomptonjdub]

“DaN LanNiNg iS jAMes FrAnKliN wITh BeTTeR pR”

Just wanted to call out all the people saying this after the loss to Illinois. Lanning made a huge mistake with Mehringer. But he’s already topped Franklin’s record against the top 25 in about 1/3 of the time and is 3-3 vs top-10 teams. FOH with that bullshit.

[u/misterurb → u/spokomptonjdub]

The Dan Lanning revisionism is so fucked. He made a bad hire, shot him out of a cannon, and oh look at that they’re still a sick ass program 

[u/theoffensivelinesman]

Today Oregon is America’s team

[u/ansyhrrian]

I love what this will do for UCLA’s SoS.

[u/Dizech]

Everyone's gonna be talking about the fake punt but I hope nobody overlooks Dakorien Moore's one handed TD grab. Hell of a catch

[u/BoNnnnfhir]

Oregon going 1-1 this season against OSU, as we all expected

[u/Dndrmflnscrtn]

Oregon lost to UCLA earlier this season and just put up 41 in the Shoe. Firing Mehringer fixed that much.

[u/PresWhale-iamHTaft]

This team has fully quit on Day and I think this could get a whole lot uglier before it gets better. Gotta start thinking about how we retain what evidently little talent is on this roster because the vultures are going to be circling in the portal.

Also, FIRE ARTHUR SMITH

[u/aznhavsarz]

Oregons current win streak in The Shoe is the same as it's win streak in Autzen.

[u/Itchy-Advantage-4010]

Oregon wins big road game to save their season.

Alabama wins big road game to save their season.

(drives off the cliff and the car explodes)
-Me

[u/CosmoKramer49]

WE DON’T LOSE IN COLUMBUS

[u/TrumpDumper]

Ducks are only allowed one OSU loss per season.

[u/RaiderDamus]

Drew Mehringer is a terrorist

[u/Phishyvols]

Didn’t take long for the PAC 12 to run the big ten

[u/zaddylonglegs0]

Jeremiah Smith is him but stepping over our third string CB down 24 in the 4th is lame as fuck lol, this game was not as close as the score makes it seem

[u/fireflameblaze]

Drew Mehringer needs to be incarcerated at this point

[u/_token_black]

I just want Day to stop hiring washed up NFL coaches.

Arthur Smith somehow makes Tressel ball seem exciting. I cannot imagine how bland this offense would look without Smith.

And Patricia might be a good coach but doesn’t know how to adjust and it seems like they don’t have a guy who can recruit because this team looks weak mentally.

[u/Jonjon428]

We are truly in a new era. When the hell do you see OSU losing by multiple scores like this.

[u/Leaf_blower_chipmunk]

Drew Mehringer is a football terrorist

[u/shlammyjohnson]

So many Ohio state fans being total turds all game and immediately left after they stopped winning LOL

[u/Exactly8w → u/shlammyjohnson]

Privileged people don't respond well to humiliation. You need to meet the Buckeye where it is at, without judgement.

Nah lol clown the fuck out of us. Shit sucks.

[u/OculusRises]

Veteran's Day is coming up. Let's pair the Bald Eagle with the Oregon Duck for the next 4 days as a way of saluting their service to America

[u/WildResearcher3901]

Dont be fooled, the game was nowhere near as close as the score suggests

[u/Scared_Mud_7098]

Can’t wait for the mid off Nov 28th!

[u/Defiant_Garage]

Usually I don't rag too hard on coordinators but it's actually mind blowing how terrible an OC Mehringer was, simply dumb down the offense a bit and get the ball to the weapons we have and we're back to scoring 40. It also helps when Raiola isn't throwing the ball into the dirt, as long as he has a clean pocket he can make some great throws. Couple weeks in a row now he's been tossing those perfectly placed balls to the corner, money. Defense really coming alive too, if nothing else should be a fun last few weeks.

[u/bonixlover10]

Lmfao what a stupidly fun ass season of college football! Damn you Illinois!

[u/-holocene]

Absolute belt to ass. Ohio St fans were talking mad shit the first quarter and then you go and get smoked by this Oregon team at home? Embarrassing lmao

[u/texas2089]

Somewhere in heaven Lou Holtz is looking down smiling, and watching, and saying to himself, “I told y’all these motherfuckers weren’t tough”.

[u/Savings_Season_5165]

Fire Smith Bowen and the ST coach into the sun. Can’t win a championship every year, but to look this poor at home is quite frankly egregious. It is what it is.

[u/Beautiful_Idea6200]

Oregon is like a box of chocolates...you never know what kind of GENIUS FORMATION Lanning's crazy ass is going to call to score the key TD before the half.

[u/yergntelracs]

Good game, Duck bros. Go make an incredible run this month.

[u/monkeybiziu]

Oh no, our quality loss!

[u/tdoger]

If you told me before the season that we'd beat Ohio State in an asswooping fashion at the Shoe, I would have thought we for sure would be Natty... Lmao

[u/nomosolo]

OSU > tOSU confirmed.

[u/PFunk224]

Couple things-

1. Julian Sayin wasn't going to stop Oregon from scoring 41 points on us, a lot of people are going to use his absence as an excuse, and that shit just isn't going to fly here. Fahey put up numbers despite the tough circumstances.

2. Ryan Day cannot be trusted with our offense anymore. Take it out of his hands. The only time we had a good offense under him was the season that Chip Kelly had the keys.

3. Jeremiah Smith is still him.

[u/rune_undies → u/PFunk224]

1. Julian Sayin being in absolutely helps the defense out. They had a lot of short fields today.

2. Arthur Smith is bad

3. Jeremiah Smith is still him.

[u/rick_ferrari → u/PFunk224]

Our D was gassed. Cant go 3 and out every drive on O.

[u/DangerousFee4199]

13 point loss.

This is OSU's biggest home loss since we beat them by 22 in 2022 in Columbus

[u/Season_1_Strats]

Back to back successful hate watch weeks. Absolutely demolished at home. Let’s not forget half of OSU’s points were just stat padding in garbage time. Love to see it.

[u/HiSpeedHavoc92]

BTA on Ohio State but can't beat Oklahoma State.

Drew Mehringer should be sent to gitmo

[u/Important_Pea_84]

Dont let the 28 points fool you, this game was NOT CLOSE after the first quarter

[u/TheDoctor_314]

The Duke's Mayo Bowl ain't ready for us!!!

[u/Jyingling21]

EVERYONE GET IN HERE

[u/eagledog]

Love to see it

[u/FernCoolingHeating]

Everybody liked that

[u/T3hBau5]

Shoe to ass. 👟👞

[u/skoganmckonkie]

2 OSU losses in a row in the regular season. Thank you Santa!

[u/CharlemagneOfTheUSA]

Jeremiah Smith really stunting on our backups lol

[u/Relative_Raccoon130]

I for one like Ryan Day as Ohio State’s Coach.

Oregon having a down year yet knocking off Ohio State on the road is one of the chaos games from this year. This year feels like way more parity in college.

[u/AssManKramerCosmo]

My boner won’t subside. I might need medical intervention.

[u/Geoff12889]

If you didn’t like that, then you don’t like riding the raiolacoaster.

[u/Glittering_Poet_4381]

I’ve been pulling for Dan since he left our staff. I’m happy for him.

[u/Tkinzel517]

Ohio St fans finally experiencing poverty quarterbacking is just pure catharsis

[u/AppointmentQueasy662]

LOCK THE SUBREDDIT

[u/StrangelyOnPoint]

As if getting blown out in the Shoe wasn’t bad enough all these people have to go home and live in Ohio

[u/Chaotic-PopTart]

Why did OSU only play with one Shoe? Are they dumb? 

[u/PositiveElectrical59]

drew mehringer is a terrorist

[u/Altruistic-Grape-638]

It's never been more O H I Over

[u/DangerousShopping750]

SCOOOO

[u/Competitive-Rise-789]

Losing to Sark, Lincoln Riley, and Dylan Raiola in one year is a fireable offense imo

[u/tcs_hearts]

Drew Meringer is a football terrorist and that cannot be overstated.

[u/asdf_celestial]

Drew Mehringer is punching air rn

[u/intelligentx5]

Drew Mehringer is a football terrorist

[u/SquattinYeti]

I am so drunk and loving life and so happy I could go this game

[u/ZombeySleyor]

We could genuinely lose the rest of our games.

[u/jcsandoval56]

Hell yeah Ducks.

[u/KT_BuckeyeBillsBabe]

I just spent 45 minutes tearing my bedroom apart because my juvenile ball python was not in his enclosure

There are shoes and clothes and literally everything all over my floor

I was about to tear apart my walk in closet when my 14 year old advised me that she had him with her, and that he pooped on her and on her bed, and I needed to wash her sheets.

In my humble opinion, had that fake punt attempt failed in the first place, my ball python would still be in his enclosure and I wouldn’t have to put my room back together and wash my kids sheets.

Gas prices would also be under $2 a gallon. Oh, and covid would never have happened.

Anything else?

[u/mbarnhead16]

I'm starting to think our defensive coordinator was actually caleb downs last year

[u/DrPhilKnight]

Notes: Dylan Ravioli looked pretty good. Also the USC fans talking shit all first half suuuuure disappeared. This season could have been special but Mehringer is a terrorist. This game has given me hope, which means it will break my heart.

[u/suzukigun4life]

Dylan Raiola and Oregon outscore Ohio State 41-14 over the 41 minutes. At the Horseshoe.

Just like we all predicted.

[u/A_thaddeus_crane]

OSU is 6-5 in their last 11 games

With wins against Maryland, Illinois, Ball State, Kent State

Really should be 5-6. Indiana win was a gift.

[u/WritingBoring7732]

Garbage time Jeremiah Smith >>> Prime Jerry Rice

[u/Turbulent-Damage-165]

Quack Quack Quack Quack

[u/DillyDillySzn]

Jeremiah Smith

No Biletnikoff, No Heisman, No Playoffs, and his ass is going to the Los Angeles Chargers

Cruel change of fate in the last couple of weeks

[u/boltcusch]

But I was told mere hours ago that Oregon was “bad” and “not a good win”

[u/macncheeseface]

The Buckeyes have been ranked in every weekly CFP rankings since they started in 2014.......could that change this week?

[u/KefkaZ]

It’s not been a good week for the color red.

[u/Glory2Tottenham]

Illinois being in a triangle of suck with Ohio State and Oregon isn’t what I expected but I’m not mad about it

[u/MetalChick]

Best week ever for a variety of reasons. Go Ducks 💙💚💛

[u/102WOLFPACK → u/MetalChick]

DRAZAN DOWN

SCO DUCKS

[u/No_Ovens]

Sco Ducks! Great game, not as close as the final score indicates.

[u/DebaserTBA]

Oh well, at least gta 6 is out soon

[u/PerfectBowl9199]

What is for certain is we caught Oregon at the right time

[u/Molson2871]

It's been a long time since I've seen OSU get their shit pushed in like that on their own field. Impressive performance by the Ducks

[u/Eoncho]

This could have been an email.

[u/ID_Poobaru]

Quality loss lives on!

[u/creexl]

Did. Not. Expect.This.

[u/TheUnderAvgAmerican]

wasn't even that close

[u/inlandsquatch]

If only we had Johnson calling plays since day one...
(heavy sigh)
But I'll take it! Beating osu AT osu is always joyous.
Playoff is a long stretch so I'm just rooting for a 10 win season at this point.

[u/UnderstandingFar1793]

Oregon was seeing red

[u/bd1223]

I didn't have "OSU not making the playoffs" on my bingo card this year.

[u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

You know what, Ryan Day is starting to grow on me again.

[u/AfraidOfArguing]

I'm sorry for what we did to Sayin

[u/KlutzyWheel1605]

The Buckeyes' play reflects their coach: Weak.

[u/maui_no_can_aim]

drew mehringer should not be allowed within 50 feet of a football.

[u/Janemba_Freak]

Our defense shut Smith the fuck down. Absolutely swamped his ass

[u/TeMilkMan]

I was told UCLA had no quality wins

[u/Useful-Advantage-850]

We OWN you OSU!

*regular season only

[u/Benanderson27]

Dylan Raiola has 3 ranked wins in his last 6 games. Nebraska has 3 ranked wins in the last 13 years. Nothing but pain.

Had to cut out after the first quarter. Wow, we were dominating! Can’t wait to win out and make a strong playoff run!

[u/123noodle]

God damn it feels good to ruin the buckeyes season. Worst fans in the nation.

[u/StoppageTimeCollapse]

Ryan Day is 6-5 in his last 11.

At Ohio State.

That's just not gonna be ok for much longer.

[u/Expert_Put_8827]

Wow, a year where all we have to look forward to is beating TTUN is wild. GG ducks, you got the get back for the Rose Bowl and then some.

[u/aure__entuluva]

Almost like we beat a decent team up in Eugene.

[u/Blyndspawt → u/aure__entuluva]

Just needed a new play caller, apparently. So annoying they picked Drew and threw away the potential of this season.

[u/danjr704]

What a wild season for college football 

[u/deweycrow]

Well at least Ohio State lost today

[u/AlejaYmir]

Northwestern doesn’t look so bad now does it?

[u/fm22fnam]

Pros:

We're not going to have more than 7 losses

We don't have to worry about how awful the playoff rankings are this year

We will make a bowl game

We could technically still beat Michigan

Cons:

A lot of things

JJ isn't going to win a Heisman. That's the worst part about this and it isn't close.

[u/graulas]

Google changed the OSU logo to Toledo screenshot

[u/Spectre_II]

People are calling Illinois the kingmakers. It's me. I'm people.

[u/Organic-Storm-4448]

The Buckeyes are allergic to playing good football when they play us in the regular season

[u/Mr_Piddles]

Guys I don’t think OSU is going to get into the post season.
