Even if Oregon had lost, the 60,129 fans that were stuffed inside Autzen Stadium were treated to one heck of a game.
The cherry on top, however, is that the Ducks won the contest over Ohio State 32-31 to send the fans into a frenzy that hadn’t been seen before.
In a matchup between the No. 2 and 3 teams in the nation, it would have been difficult to expect a game for the ages. That was a big ask, but both teams delivered. There were seven lead changes and the scoring didn’t stop until 1:50 left with Atticus Sappington’s 19-yard chip shot field goal.
The crowd did its job, and the Oregon defense did its in those last few seconds, forcing Buckeyes quarterback Will Howard to slide down with 0:00 showing on the clock, holding the Buckeyes off the scoreboard to preserve the huge victory.
Here are the best pics from a night none of us will ever forget.
