Ohio State faced a significant setback with a 41-28 loss to Oregon at home on November 7. The Buckeyes led by 14 points in the first half but were unable to maintain their advantage against the Ducks. This loss marks Ohio State's first back-to-back defeats since 2011, following last week's loss to USC. With quarterback Julian Sayin sidelined due to an arm injury, the team's struggles could put head coach Ryan Day's position at risk ahead of the crucial game against Michigan on November 28.
