Oregon vs. Ohio State Recent History

This weekend would have been the game-of-the-year for Oregon: highly-ranked Ohio State coming into Autzen Stadium—for the first time since 1967—to play highly-ranked Oregon. 

The previous nine meetings between the Ducks and Buckeyes have all been Duck losses, with the last two being quite memorable.  The 0-9 record is the worst overall mark against any Oregon opponent. Pre-pandemic, this matchup would have been the marquis matchup of this college football weekend, but both the Pac-12 and Big-10 announced postponing football this fall.

Looking back at the most recent uniform meetings of these two teams:



Jan 12, 2015: CFP National Championship Game

Arlington, TX—Oregon 20, Ohio State 42

 The Ducks followed a recent uniform trend by wearing NO green or yellow, and opting for white/black/silver combination, while the Buckeyes went silver, scarlet, gray It seems odd to me that Oregon would actually use silver in their uniform, since tOSU has that as a school color!
