Oregon erased a two-touchdown deficit and scored 38 consecutive points to beat Ohio State 41–28 in Columbus on Saturday, dealing the Buckeyes another setback in the race for the College Football Playoff.

Ohio State led 14–0 after the first quarter, but Oregon took the lead before halftime and kept building it after the break. The University of Oregon's game report and the Associated Press via CBS Sports both report the final score and the 38-point run.

How Oregon turned it around

Oregon quarterback Dylan Raiola completed 25 of 40 passes for 257 yards and two touchdowns, while Dierre Hill Jr. rushed for two scores, according to Oregon. A field goal got the Ducks on the board in the second quarter. Hill's touchdown and a score by tight end Jamari Johnson put Oregon ahead by halftime.

The Ducks stretched the lead in the second half before Ohio State added late points. The Big Ten's box score records the scoring sequence.

What the result means

Both teams moved to 6–3, according to the AP. Ohio State lost consecutive games for the first time since 2011. The AP said the loss likely damaged the Buckeyes' playoff chances; no final playoff field has been selected, so the outcome does not mathematically establish a team’s postseason fate.

Oregon entered the game No. 23 in the initial College Football Playoff rankings, according to the university. Future rankings and other games will determine how the result affects the field.

How the score changed

By quarter, as recorded in the Big Ten box score:

  • End of first quarter: Ohio State 14, Oregon 0.
  • Halftime: Oregon 17, Ohio State 14.
  • End of third quarter: Oregon 31, Ohio State 14.
  • Final: Oregon 41, Ohio State 28.
