That is why Oregon's offense is so feared. Buckeyes never even forced a third down on that TD drive. Question is, how will they adjust?
— Bill Rabinowitz 🗞 (@brdispatch) January 13, 2015
Coverage bust. Likely due to Mariota's ability to run. No inside curl defender there. Corner can't cover them both.
