Ohio State @ Oregon - (Sept 12, TV TBA)

[JBB]

This just in. Gives a nice review of OSU on both sides of the ball and looks at the Oregon game. It is highlighted as a premier game.

Like the NDSU game, which he says Oregon should win, the Ducks will be facing a great QB. Like the NDSU game OSU is set on offense but has big questions on Defense. Like NDSU it is speculated this lack of experience will be off set by Oregon’s offense which also lost a lot of talent especially at QB.

It’s a good analysis of Ohio State and worth a look. The Oregon game is mentioned beginning at 3:50 in.

The Buckeyes are 9-0 vs The Ducks

The parallels between this game and NDSU vs Oregon are amazing.

Both Oregon and NDSU are good football teams
Both are underdogs
Both Ohio State and NDSU have top notch QBs
Ohio State is ranked higher than Oregon. NDSU is a defending national champion.
Ohio State is Oregon’s hurdle to greatness
Oregon is NDSUs
Oregon is expected to challenge OSU.
NDSU is expected to challenge Oregon
Both games are widely anticipated and already have national interest.

Both games are at risk

From USA Today,
Ok stop laughing they are a joke but they did mention the game:

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to cast a shadow over sports. We now know that because of the virus, Ohio State’s matchup with the Oregon Ducks will not be a sellout, at the very least.

In fact, it may not even have fans.

It’s brutal news as the Ducks, an up-and-coming college football program, were expected to potentially provide a very stiff challenge against a dominant Ohio State squad.

Here’s is your week 2 opponent as they see themselves:

This is not dated but I haven’t seen it around. It’s the 2020 Ohio State football hype video. Oregon isn’t mentioned.

Please be advised the comment section includes violent language with mentions of blood, battles etc. Please be over 18 if you do read them. Oregon regulatory authorities may want to review in light of the responsible decisions surrounding the annual bat.... contest with State. This is a real problem because uncontrolled language is rampant in other states.

Clemson and Mich seem to be the focus of the video. Not a very good video or promotion it motivated me to tear-up my Buckeye season ticket application.

Here is The Ohio State for 2020

I see you are leaking into other threads now.

As you can see, it’s difficult to talk about The Bison @ Oregon without The Ohio State coming up for one reason or another.

Actually it's pretty easy. Only one who keeps bleeding them together is you.

Ohio State announced today they have paused voluntary workouts.

Sounds like this game is now cancelled, Big 10 will only play conference games

[greenyellow]

Too bad we won't get to see Ohio State. Hopefully they find a way to make this game up.

[Tray Dub]

Huge bummer, would've been a ton of fun. Oh well.

I wonder if the other non-conference games will start falling around the P5 now.

[maxduck]

Scheduled visits to Autzen by Georgia, Texas A&M and now tOSU have been cancelled in the last decade. Who else?

[mrpd21]

Nooooooooooooooo!!!!

side note: How did the GAM not predict this?! JBB your thoughts...

[OregonFan4Life]

Pac-12 and Oregon needs to fire back and refuse to go to OSU in 2021.

[UOducksTK1]

Probably the best non-conference game ever to be scheduled in Autzen. Bummer!!!
