LIVE Score Updates Oregon Ducks, Ohio State: Teams Arriving At Rose Bowl
PASADENA – The stage is set for the Rose Bowl between the Oregon Ducks and Ohio State Buckeyes on New Year’s Day. The undefeated Ducks beat Ohio State in October in Autzen Stadium, so the Buckeyes will be looking for revenge in Pasadena.
Oregon coach Dan Lanning and Ohio State coach Ryan Day have led their teams to the College Football Playoff, and both squads have a legitimate chance at winning the National Championship. The Rose Bowl will kickoff at 2 p.m. PT.
After the Ducks’ narrow win over the Buckeyes, many assumed that the two teams would meet again in the Big Ten Championship Game in Indianapolis, Indiana. However, Ohio State lost its second game of the season to their bitter rivals, the Michigan Wolverines. As a result, Oregon played Penn State for the conference title, and the rematch with Ohio State is now set for Pasadena.

Much has been made about the Buckeyes chance at revenge over Oregon. At Rose Bowl media day, Ducks quarterback Dillon Gabriel
“I think once you have that environment together, then naturally there’s proof of concept, I guess you could say, of being able to go back to it and look at to get better on,” Gabriel said. “But I think there’s pros and cons for both teams. I think that’s just the situation we are in now.”

The regular season meeting between the two teams was a back-and-forth contest. Ohio State’s offense was driving down the field, trying to set up a game-winning field goal attempt, but Buckeyes quarterback Will Howard scrambled as time ran out, giving Oregon the win.
Before the game, Howard talked about that final play and how much he still thinks about it.
“I still have nightmares about that play. I’m thankful that we even get a chance to go out there and play these guys again. The way we lost that game, it still hurts,” said Howard.
As the higher seed, Oregon will be wearing green jerseys with exclusive Kobe cleats, white pants, and chrome helmets. The sunset over the Rose Bowl is one of the most iconic images in all of sports, and the Ducks’ helmets should reflect the colorful sky later in the evening.
Ohio State will be wearing white as the lower seed. The Buckeyes are wearing special edition helmets “The Grandaddy of Them All,” featuring a rose decal within the red stripe on the Ohio State helmets.

Convicted murderer sentenced to life in prison for Falls City, Oregon killing in 2024
FALLS CITY, Ore. — A 63-year-old was sentenced to life in prison for shooting and killing a man with a shotgun during a fight at a Falls City, Oregon property back in 2024.
A jury convicted Terry Lawrence Allwen of second-degree murder back on March 20, the Polk County District Attorney’s Office said.
He was sentenced Friday to serve life in prison with the possibility of parole after 25 years.

Allwen was also convicted of other charges like manslaughter, assault, and felon in possession of a firearm, but the sentences for those crimes will be served concurrently with the life sentence.
Court records show that Allwen was staying in an RV parked on a property owned by the victim, 79-year-old Bo Johnson.
At about 9 a.m. on May 31, 2024, Allwen and Johnson got into a verbal fight over some personal property. During that fight, Allwen got a shotgun from his trunk and shot Johnson once, killing him.
“Mr. Johnson had many more years to spend with his family. His senseless murder destroyed the dreams and plans of so many that loved him. I hope that the fact Mr. Allwen today received the maximum possible sentence will bring the family of Mr. Johnson some relief and sense of justice.”
If Allwen is granted parole, the judge also ordered that he have a lifetime of post-prison supervision.

Oregon Supreme Court overturns JonBenét Ramsey photographer conviction
The Oregon Supreme Court has overturned the conviction of a Lane County man who once photographed child beauty queen JonBenét Ramsey and was convicted in 2021 on several child pornography charges.
Randall DeWitt Simons, 73, of Oakridge, was charged in 2019 with 15 counts of first-degree encouraging child sex abuse. He was later convicted on every count and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Simons was first arrested after authorities began investigating a report from a restaurant in Oakridge that someone had been using the restaurant’s Wi-Fi to download inappropriate and concerning images.
Law enforcement officers directed the business to track, log, and report all of the user’s internet activity to the investigating officer for more than a year, without a warrant.
Police tracked the computer’s IP address from the restaurant’s Wi-Fi system, which led officers to a man who lived near the restaurant and had given Simons a computer, according to a probable cause affidavit filed in Lane County Circuit Court. Investigators obtained a warrant to search the laptop in Simon’s home, relying on information they had collected over time. He was subsequently arrested.
On March 26, the court ruled warrantless internet surveillance on public Wi-Fi violates privacy.
In an opinion written by Justice Bronson D. James, the court held that the Oregon Constitution recognizes people have a right to privacy in their internet browsing activities and the right is not extinguished when they use a publicly accessible wireless network. It’s even true in cases where that access is conditioned on a person accepting a terms-of-service agreement that says a provider may monitor activity and cooperate with law enforcement, James wrote.
During criminal proceedings in the Lane County Circuit Court, Simons moved to controvert the warrant and suppress the evidence obtained by police, arguing the business was a “state actor for purposes of Article I, section 9, and that its year-long warrantless surveillance was an unconstitutional, warrantless search attributable to the state,” the Supreme Court opinion said.
The Circuit Court denied Simon’s motion. The Oregon Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court’s decision in part and stated Simons had no cognizable privacy interest in his internet activities performed on a third-party network.
The Oregon Supreme Court rejected the state’s argument.
“The mere fact that a person accesses the internet through a public network does not eliminate their Article I, section 9, right to privacy in their online activities,” according to James. “Even when access is expressly conditioned on a user’s acceptance of terms-of-service provisions purporting to alert the user that the provider may monitor activity and cooperate with law enforcement.”
Justice K. Bushong suggested in a partial dissent the Court should reconsider its approach in a future case to what constitutes a “search” under the Oregon Constitution. The court’s decision reverses the Court of Appeals and sends the case back to the Lane County Circuit Court for further proceedings.
Simons has maintained his innocence since he was arrested in 2019.
Simons had been a photographer for 6-year-old Colorado beauty queen JonBenét Ramsey a few months before her still-unsolved 1996 murder, the Associated Press reported in 1998.
In October 1998, Simons was arrested on a charge of indecent exposure in Lincoln County, Colorado. According to the book “Perfect Murder, Perfect Town” by Lawrence Schiller, Simons was arrested in 1998 for allegedly walking nude down a residential street in the small town of Genoa, Colorado. Simons allegedly offered to the arresting deputy unprovoked, “I didn’t kill JonBenét.”
