Oregon AD wants to show ‘what Pac-12 football is like’ at Ohio State
Ohio State has never lost to Oregon in football. The Buckeyes are a perfect 9-0 against the Ducks in their all-time matchups.
But Oregon is coming to Columbus for a massive nonconference showdown in September, in what should be one of the top games of the year in college football. And Oregon seems confident it can beat Ohio State on the road.

COLUMBUS C.J. Stroud always believed.
The Ohio State quarterback just needed everybody else to get up to speed with what he could do.
Two years ago Stroud was a three-star prospect before dominating at the Elite 11 competition, changing everything about his recruitment and putting his future on a completely different trajectory. He would skyrocket into five-star territory, virtually every major program in the country would be calling him and the kid from Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., was something of an overnight celebrity.
Some of that did catch Stroud by surprise. But even in the middle of his senior season when Lettermen Row paid a visit to the eventual Buckeyes commit and now projected heir apparent to Justin Fields, Stroud was never unsure about his own potential.
