Game Thread Rose Bowl, #8 tOSU vs #1 Oregon, Jan 1, 5:00 ET on ESPN

I rewatched the first half of the Oregon game. Three pre-snap penalties. A bizarre Judkins "fumble" and the kickoff that bounced off of an Ohio State player on the kickoff from the 50 following a 15 yard penalty and the Buckeyes still scored 21 points in the first half. Clean all of that up and this game isn't close.
Just a bump for my prediction from Monday. Pats self on the back.

The Greatest 30 Minutes Ever Played

First Half Highlights: Jeremiah Smith Scores Twice, Emeka Egbuka and TreVeyon Henderson Score Once As Ohio State Dominates Oregon in the First 30 Minutes​

152288_h_0.jpg


That was fun.

A 2.5-point favorite over Oregon in the Rose Bowl, Ohio State raced out to a 34-0 lead in Pasadena thanks to a pair of touchdowns from Jeremiah Smith and one score each from Emeka Egbuka and TreVeyon Henderson. Jayden Fielding added the other six points with field goals from 46 and 36 yards out.

As the Buckeyes and Ducks prepare for the second half — the scoreboard showing 34-8 following an Oregon touchdown in the final moments of the second quarter — we wanted to recap a wild half of football for Ohio State with some highlights and other social media posts. Relive the fun below:

He's a runner, he's a track star​


That Will Howard-Emeka Egbuka connection​


Can't Guard JJ​


TreVeyon Henderson, home-run hitter​

It wouldn't be talked about but for Bjork putting it out there.
I haven't heard anyone mention the snub of Howard, but I'll take your word for it.

Omfg, I just saw he wasn't even in the top 10 in the voting AND friggin' McCord was #10! Tyler Warren was #7. Tyler Warren had a whopping one catch against OSU, iirc. Not that he needed extra motivation, but - they pissed off Will Howard and he's played angry against Oregon and TN. They paid the price with Will Howard + the entire rest of the team beatdowns.

Few things…

1. I knew there was a big gap between these two teams. I really did. I didn’t expect this type of an ass beating but this is what hitting your stride looks like.

2. How about Fielding hitting two longer field goals? Good for him. I’m sure it’s not been easy for him the last few months.

3. Take a damn bow defense. 8 sacks, countless TFL, hardly any big plays, rotating a ton of players, and they’re hitting harder than maybe I’ve ever seen from an OSU defense. I thought the defensive front, Cody Simon, and the safeties were ruthless today.

4. We didn’t hear a peep from Burke all game. How cool is that considering how poorly the last game went. So glad to see him get this one back.

5. The offensive line with no sacks again vs this defensive line? What an incredible turnaround for this group. We stopped running stretch and look at how these backs get down hill.

6. I think we can shut up regarding Will Howard being able to throw downfield. He’s a very very good QB.

7. JJ Smith might be the best football player I’ve ever seen. He’s dominating as a true freshman. He looks like he’s an NFL Vet running around out there. I think he’s a top 10 WR in the NFL right now. He’s that good. We thought Marv was good but JJ is a different level than year 3 Marv.

It's a "crimson" avalanche?? How many Buckeyes games has he done?

Quick offensive points:

- Will Howard continues to do his thing. He's nowhere close to the best QB Day has ever had to work with, but when he's on, he's really on. As I said last week, if he continues to hit on the deep balls, the offense is nearly unstoppable. Just hoping he doesn't lock in too much on JJ Smith going forward.

- Quinshon finally got back into a nice rhythm today, ran hard and his vision today was solid. Trey is just an explosive play waiting to happen, having him healthy this late in the process is huge.

- Jeremiah Smith is the best WR I've ever seen at Ohio State, and maybe at the college level period. I could think of a guy like Larry Fitzgerald but even then, this kids a fucking freshman. Egbuka is a rightful 1st rounder and continues to block like a menace. Loved seeing Jerry Gee open up the game with a big play.

- O-Line was, once again put in great positions with the play calling. That being said, the pass blocking was absolutely phenomenal, regardless of the play call, Frye deserves his flowers here. Methinks Donovan Jackson made himself some money today. If this group can keep grinding off solid gains and add it a big play once a game on the ground, curtains.

Answer: Lots; however, that is actually irrelevant. He's a professional football announcer on ABC/ESPN's "a-team" for college games, it's his job to know things like the school colors of each team playing. Besides he's got Herbstreit right beside him who definitely should know Ohio State's team colors.
