The Ohio State Buckeyes brought their best early on against the Oregon Ducks in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals.
Ohio State cashed in on a brilliant fake less than a minute into the Rose Bowl, with Jeremiah Smith the recipient from 45 yards out. The Buckeyes employed a perfect fake, as it looked like running back Quinshon Judkins was taking a handoff and moving right. Most of the Oregon defense bit, and did not realize the play was actually a short pass out left to wide receiver Jeremiah Smith.
The Buckeyes blocked perfectly, and Smith’s speed did the rest.
