Oregon Defeats Ohio State 41-28 to Snap Buckeyes' Home Winning Streak

Ohio State fans started heading for the exits early in the third quarter on Nov. 7, 2026, watching the No. 23 Oregon Ducks erase a 14-0 deficit at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, si.com reported.

The scarlet-clad crowd in Columbus had plenty to celebrate early, but the game slipped away as Oregon scored 38 unanswered points. The final 41-28 victory handed the No. 12 Buckeyes their first home loss after a 12-game streak, snapping a dominant home run where Ohio State had won 140 straight games when leading by at least 14 points, according to si.com.

The win moved Oregon to 6-3 on the season, securing their third victory against a top-25 opponent. Beyond the scoreboard, si.com reported on three distinct moments that unfolded away from standard television broadcasts during the matchup.

Dakorien Moore delivered a standout performance with seven receptions for 56 yards, including a highlight-reel one-handed catch for an 11-yard touchdown in the third quarter. When the game ended, his work at The Horseshoe continued as visiting recruits pulled him aside for photos and conversations on the field.

“Most definitely, I was definitely telling them, they know where to go now… It’s just showing love to the youngins, that’s all it is,” Moore said, as reported by si.com.

Quarterback Dylan Raiola guided the offense efficiently in his fourth start, completing 25 of 40 passes for 257 yards and two touchdowns without an interception. Filling in while Dante Moore remains sidelined with a concussion expected to end his season, Raiola addressed his status and future in Eugene after the victory, si.com reported.

“I will say I have not been on social media, so I have no idea what’s going on being said. Honestly, respectfully, I don’t put my value in that.

What I do care about is what that locker room thinks of me, and what I do care about is what that coaching staff thinks of me,” Raiola told reporters, according to si.com. “And so yeah, to answer your question, I just want to be a part of the team. I don’t want to be an individual.”

Before kickoff, Oregon receivers brought noticeable energy to the field. Moore, Evan Stewart, and Jeremiah McClellan were loose and dancing during warmups, with Moore rehearsing the same type of one-handed grabs he later displayed in the game, si.com reported.

“Yeah, if I’m being honest, (one-handed) are catches that I practice literally all the time. If you’re out there for pregame, you’ll see me doing one-handed catches… So just trying to be that type of guy to where I can make the quarterback confident enough to throw them type of passes,” Moore said, according to si.com.
