Oregon Beats Ohio State 41-28 in Columbus, but Loses Tuioti to Leg Injury
Oregon scored 38 straight points on its way to a 41-28 win over Ohio State at Ohio Stadium on Saturday. The win came at a cost: edge rusher Teitum Tuioti left late with a leg injury, and coach Dan Lanning said he was waiting on word from the medical staff.
COLUMBUS, Ohio: Oregon went on the road and beat Ohio State 41-28 on Saturday, scoring 38 points in a row at one point on the way to the win at Ohio Stadium.
The Ducks had the game in hand by the start of the fourth quarter. The win came with a cost, though: edge rusher Teitum Tuioti went down with a leg injury late in the game and was carted to the locker room with his left knee heavily wrapped.
Tuioti finished the game with two tackles and one tackle for loss. He also threw a pass on a fake punt to fellow edge rusher Matayo Uiagalelei for a big play that helped Oregon score before halftime.

Lanning waits on medical staff
After the game, Oregon coach Dan Lanning said he did not yet know the extent of Tuioti’s injury. “Yeah, not right now,” Lanning said when asked if he knew Tuioti’s status. “We’ll wait to hear from our medical staff. I know he’s tough, so I’m praying for good news there.”
Tuioti has been a central part of Oregon’s defense in recent weeks as the Ducks have climbed back into the Big Ten conversation. This season he has made 44 tackles, nine tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks.
If Tuioti has to miss time, it would be a blow to a defense that has played well late in the season. Nasir Wyatt is a likely candidate to step into Tuioti’s role on the edge if needed, according to Ducks Wire.

Oregon will host Michigan next Saturday at Autzen Stadium.
