Ohio State clobbers Oregon, gains date with Texas in Cotton Bowl

Ohio State gaines a date with Texas after wiping out Oregon

They say it is hard to beat a team twice in one season. After the Rose Bowl on Wednesday, Oregon would agree.

The Ducks came into the game undefeated and left clobbered. Ohio State scored the first 34 points and rolled to a 41-21 victory over Oregon.

The Buckeyes advanced to a CFP semifinal against Texas in the Cotton Bowl.

Jeremiah Smith caught seven passes for 187 yards and two touchdowns. Will Howard threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns. TreVeyon Henderson ran for 94 yards on eight carries.

The result was the opposite of what happened in October when the Ducks edged the Buckeyes, 32-31, in a thriller.
