COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- Oregon came into the Rose Bowl with an offense worthy of its ranking as the top seed in the College Football Playoff.
Then came Ohio State's defense. And things just didn't seem the same.
The Buckeyes erased the Ducks' running game Wednesday, and then they concentrated on limiting the passing game in a 41-21 win. They advanced to face Texas in a semifinal on Jan. 10 in the Cotton Bowl, and the Longhorns will have to dissect the efforts of multiple standout players.
