No. 2 Ohio State started Saturday night's primetime game with No. 3 Oregon with the football, and looked dominant in a 10-play, 75-yard touchdown drive that ended with a one-yard scoring scamper from Buckeyes quarterback Will Howard.
As impressive as the first drive of the game was for the Buckeyes, it probably should have ended before Howard's touchdown run. On the seventh play of the drive, Howard hit tight end Will Kacmarek for a 32-yard connection. However, Kacmarek bobbled the ball as he went to the ground, and it appeared that Ducks safety Jeffrey Bassa came away with it for an interception.
