Stroud is 10-for-15 for 111 yards and 1 touchdown in this game. A good chunk of his production came on this scoring drive, which also included completions of 27 and 15 yards.
Oregon is missing several key starters in this game, including linebacker Justin Flowe and pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux. Both players were injured in the Ducks’ season-opener vs. Fresno State.
Thibodeaux is especially impactful for Oregon. He has a chance to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
Ohio State is 9-0 all-time against Oregon.
