Ohio State and Oregon Ready for Rose Bowl

As Ohio State prepares for its College Football Playoff quarterfinal against Oregon, the Buckeyes report no major surprises on their injury list, with only walk-on safety Brenten Jones and regular starters Seth McLaughlin and Josh Simmons out due to season-ending injuries. The offensive line remains stable, with Donovan Jackson stepping in at left tackle and Carson Hinzman at center. Meanwhile, Oregon's health has improved significantly, with the potential return of cornerback Jahlil Florence and defensive end Jordan Burch, both of whom could bolster the Ducks’ defense against Ohio State's potent offense. Oregon also welcomes back wide receiver Justius Lowe, who missed recent games due to injury, enhancing their depth at the position. The match is set for 5 p.m. Eastern Time at the Rose Bowl, with the winner advancing to the CFP semifinals. Both teams are aiming to capitalize on their respective roster strengths as they vie for a spot in the next round of the playoffs.
