Nice blocks from Nicholas Petit-Frere and Jeremy Ruckert on this 20-yd run by Miyan Williams, OSU’s second-longest of the game. pic.twitter.com/OphRrHm21O

One of a few early high throws by Stroud. Fourth-down incompletion on next play ends first drive. pic.twitter.com/QKfTGGlUrJ

Oregon’s first snap indicated the struggles to come for the OSU defense. Haskell Garrett gets penetration, but Tommy Eichenberg gets blocked and Teradja Mitchell and Bryson Shaw are slow to the ball. pic.twitter.com/JEpzRRdVdW

Here’s the late hit on which Stroud apparently hurt his shoulder. He lands awkwardly on his right side and windmilled his arm on the way back to the huddle as if in pain. pic.twitter.com/VWDJZu6O2T

Freshman Denzel Burke can play, and he’s only going to get better. pic.twitter.com/Up7YB81gjJ

This is just bad defense. Nobody is in position to stop this play on the boundary, a recurring problem. Way too easy a conversion on third-and-long. pic.twitter.com/5haUvwrXpH

Another breakdown. Zach Harrison angles in and Mitchell has to stay with the receiver, giving Brown a big opening. pic.twitter.com/6dDpTcRXDt

Sometimes a freeze-frame is all that’s needed. I think I could have run for this TD. Nothing but green to the left. pic.twitter.com/MbphRRlnax

Blown assignment here. Both Cody Simon and Palaie Gaoteote cover the same guy, allowing the tight end to make the third-down conversion deep in Oregon territory. pic.twitter.com/RQ1NMXOb1H

Fool me once… Oregon’s second TD. Eichenberg gets caught in the muck and no Buckeye but Shaw too late can get to Verdell. pic.twitter.com/JYCp5g4T1c

Verdell’s 77-yard TD. Eichenberg follows the tight end, taking him out of the middle. All Verdell needed was a crack, and Shaw wasn’t fast enough to get to Verdell. A 77-yard run shouldn’t be this easy. pic.twitter.com/HSgGoUeus2

OSU’s second TD. Jaxon Smith-Njigba is a budding star. Beats his man, and Stroud makes a nice throw. pic.twitter.com/pND8B27m0p

Fool me twice… Lejond Cavazos needed to set the edge. Instead, he drifts inside. pic.twitter.com/F2Iwnod4SC
