Ohio State dominated UCLA in a lopsided 48-10 victory at Ohio Stadium, jumping out to a commanding 27-0 halftime lead behind a balanced offensive attack. The Buckeyes' ground game proved unstoppable with Bo Jackson, James Peoples, and Isaiah West all finding the end zone, while Lorenzo Styles Jr. delivered an electrifying 100-yard kick return touchdown. Despite a brief third-quarter score from the Bruins' Luke Duncan to Kwazi Gilmer, Ohio State continued their onslaught with Peoples adding his second touchdown late to cap off the rout.
