Saturday’s game marks Ohio State’s second-ever trip to Eugene and the 11th overall meeting between the two programs. Ohio State holds a 9-1 overall record against Oregon.

Ohio State:
Ohio State (5-0) has finished the last three seasons with an 11-2 record and while most schools would be proud to boast those results, the Buckeyes—who have lost to Michigan in all of those seasons—are far from satisfied. The team entered this season with only one goal in mind: winning the national title and the moves they made in the offseason reflect that. The Buckeyes added 11 players via the transfer portal including former Alabama standout Safety Caleb Downs, RB Quinshon Judkins from Ole Miss, and QB Will Howard from Kansas State.
In July, Ohio State Athletic Director Ross Bjork revealed that the program distributed “around $20 million” in NIL deals to football players in the past year.
The investment has paid off so far as the Buckeyes enter Week 7 with one of the top-scoring offenses and the best-scoring defense in the FBS.
Oregon Ducks:
Oregon head coach Dan Lanning looks to bring the Ducks their first-ever national title this season. In his third year leading the program, Lanning has guided Oregon to a 27-5 record but is still seeking his first win against a top-5 opponent.
Oregon’s offense is anchored by 6th-year Senior QB Dillion Gabriel, who spent the last 2 years at Oklahoma. The Hawaii native has over 1,500 yards and 14 touchdowns this season and has plenty of options at his disposal. Junior RB Jordan James and 5th-year Senior WR Tez Johnson each have 5 touchdowns this season. James has rushed for a team-high 552 yards, while Johnson leads the team with 43 receptions. Additionally, WRs Traeshon Holden and Evan Stewart, along with TEs Terrance Ferguson and Kenyon Sadiq all have at least 10 receptions for over 100 yards this season.
