When Ohio State traveled to Oregon last October, the Ducks torched the Buckeyes for 32 points and nearly 500 yards.
Two months later, when the teams met in the Rose Bowl and the College Football Playoff, the Buckeyes used that lesson to roll the unbeaten Ducks out of the playoff, holding them to minus-23 yards rushing. That came a game after Oregon put up 45 points on Penn State in the Big Ten championship.
