Remember the rubber duck that was left behind after Oregon’s upset win over Ohio State on Saturday?

FOX Sports found the culprits.

After Ohio Stadium cleared out, two young fans — Brixton and Dublin — climbed down on the field and placed the duck at midfield. Security didn’t seem to mind, and the troll job went viral on social media almost right away.

They talked with FOX Sports’ Charlotte Wilder about the stunt.

What a twist. After a few days of wondering if it was a coach, player or staffer, it turns out it was a couple young fans who wanted to troll Ohio State after its first loss of the season.

Hysterical.

Oregon went into the Horseshoe and stunned then-No. 3 Ohio State 35-28 last week, handing Buckeyes coach Ryan Day his first regular-season loss since taking over the head coaching job.

But now we’re left wondering one thing. What happened to the duck?
