The Ohio State Buckeyes beat the Oregon Ducks in the Rose Bowl. To be quite frank, it wasn't even close for most of the game as the Buckeyes came out on fire and ended the first quarter and a half up 31-0.

• Oregon crushed by Ohio State, ending No. 1 Ducks’ season: Previously undefeated Oregon (13-1), which prides itself in physicality and mental toughness, was punched in the mouth from the start as 90,732 attended the 111th Rose Bowl.
