Three reasons Ohio State beats Oregon Saturday

The Ohio State Buckeyes will play in their first home game of 2021 on Saturday when the Oregon Ducks come to visit. The kickoff is at noon and the gameday atmosphere should be electric with a packed ‘Shoe. The Buckeyes defeated the Minnesota Golden Gophers last Thursday, just nipping the spread 45-31 by taking control of the game in the second half.

Despite the struggles early in the game, freshman quarterback C.J. Stroud cleaned up his game and showed that he has the arm talent to win games for OSU. Oregon had a far less impressive week, barely squeaking out a victory over the Fresno State Bulldogs. With the spread at over three touchdowns, most expected Oregon to run away with it, but the Ducks only won 31-24. We like Ohio State’s chances to win this thing, but how exactly?

Here we go with three reasons the Buckeyes will have success going Duck hunting this weekend.
