COLUMBUS — Ohio State is set to travel to Eugene, Oregon, for a colossal top-three matchup against the Oregon Ducks on Saturday night. The Buckeyes are making the trip to face one of the new West Coast Big Ten teams for the first time. Ohio State isn't viewing it as a huge deal for the program to pack up and head out to the Beaver State, because it feels like it has experience traveling to far-away stadiums for games and having success. Buckeyes coach Ryan Day even compared it to road-tripping to Nebraska for Big Ten games, something the Buckeyes have done four times since the Cornhuskers joined the league. Ohio State is 3-1 in those trips. This flight out to Oregon isn't going to be a huge deal for the Buckeyes. At least, they're not going to make a big deal out of it.
