Does anyone know if there are intentions on fulfilling the trip to Autzen or is that dead in the water?
Still got a lot of friends in Oregon who would love to see it happen.
The last I've heard was this:

Under the existing agreement, if this year’s game is canceled, it would not impact the teams’ 2021 date in Columbus. The programs would also not be under any legal obligation to reschedule the Eugene half of the home-and-home, but could if both sides agreed to do so.

Oregon working to reschedule canceled 2020 meeting with Ohio State, but ‘it’s complicated’
Both Mullens and Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith have indicated they’d like to reschedule the game that was supposed to be played on Sept. 12 in Eugene for as soon as possible, but both schools have nonconference schedules fully set for at least the next three years and several prominent Power 5 games scheduled in subsequent even-numbered years, when it’s easier for Ohio State to travel for a road nonconference game and Oregon most needs a nonconference home game.
Asked if it’s viable to reschedule the game for 2022, when Oregon is already scheduled to play Georgia in Atlanta and Ohio State will host Notre Dame and would require each to break or reschedule another nonconference game contract, Mullens didn’t see that as plausible.
“I don’t think that’s a possibility because we don’t want to be breaking nonconference contracts with folks,” he said. “I don’t think that’s a possibility. We would look a little further out into the future if we’re talking in realistic options.”
Further out than that would first leave 2024, when Ohio State is already scheduled to play at Washington and multiple nonconference road games, against teams from the same conference and region no less, would be impractical and untenable to the Buckeyes and require the Ducks to again break a different game contract. After that comes 2028, when Oregon hosts Baylor and travels to Utah State but has one opening and Ohio State is to play at Alabama and 2030 has Oregon hosting Michigan State and Ohio State visiting Georgia.
The first completely open even-numbered year for both teams isn’t until 2032, at which point the thought of rescheduling the 2020 game is more one-off than reflective of the original series.
