A rematch of one of the most exhilarating college football games of the year takes place Wednesday when the nation’s best defense faces a high-powered Oregon offense.
Ohio State lost to Oregon earlier this season but enters this matchup as a 2.5-point favorite.
That game was largely considered one of the best college football games of the year, but there is a bit more than what meets the eye than just the score.
Oregon was gifted a questionable offensive pass interference call in that game while on defense and even exploited a clock rule that the NCAA had to immediately change because it was so sharp.
Ducks head coach Dan Lanning surely gets credited for helping manufacture that win, but I don’t think that will happen again on New Year’s Day.
