PASADENA, Calif. – Already proclaimed national champions, the Buckeyes were heavy favorites against the Ducks. But the game wasn’t decided until the fourth quarter.
Ohio State drove 79 yards on its first possession to take an early 7-0 lead. Frank Kremblas capped the drive by going in from 1 yard away, then converted the extra point.
Oregon came back to tie it at 7-all before the half, and actually had a chance to lead the Buckeyes in the third period with a field goal attempt that failed from the Ohio State 24.
The game came down to Don Sutherin’s 24-yard field goal with 14:02 to go in the game. Oregon was stopped by a fumble on its next possession, and drove to the OSU 47 on its last drive before running out of downs.
