Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota leaves the game after getting hit while delivering a pass.
Actually, Mariota had deliverd the pass and was later hit and driven into the turf by Ohio State defensive lineman Joey Bosa. No penalty, though.
After two more plays, including a second penalty on their possession, the Ducks send Mariota back into the game.
Mariota completes a 19-yard pass to Dwayne Stanford on third and 26. The Ducks line up for a punt, then shift with most the players heading toward the left sideline.
