Ohio State is set for revenge. The Buckeyes have surged to a 31-0 lead in the first half of Wednesday’s Rose Bowl with Oregon.

The first time the schools met in October, the Ducks came away with a one-point victory.

In Pasadena, Oregon had no answers for Chip Kelly’s offensive game plan. Ohio State was scoring anywhere and everywhere.

With eight-plus minutes left in the second quarter, elite WR Jeremiah Smith had already caught six passes, two for touchdowns, and had 101 receiving yards.

The Buckeyes’ first drive against the undefeated Ducks took one minute and their second one took 1:05.

With the score at 31-0, Ohio State had 347 yards of total offense to 66 for Oregon.

The Ducks were in a deep hole and needed to turn things around if they hoped to advance to an Orenge Bowl game against Penn State in a CFP semifinal next week.
