gash
Kawada, jr.さんのfollow-upです。Astroriverさんの留学先の相手はオハイオ州立大学に決まりました。先ほどはthrashでしたが，ここはgashという単語を押さえておきます。これは主に名詞で，「大けが，深手」という意味でおなじみですが（例: cut a deep gash in），ここでは動詞で，「深手を負わせる，切り込む」という意味で用いられています。（Green, jr.）

Ohio State (13-1) will now face Oregon, ranked No. 2, in the national championship game on Jan. 12 at the Cowboys’ stadium in Arlington, Tex.
The first half played out as if Coaches Nick Saban and Urban Meyer were boxers, carefully testing each other. The Buckeyes offense gashed Alabama for chunks of yards, but Alabama forced a few badly timed errors. Two
Ohio State drives stalled inside the 10 yard-line, running back Ezekiel Elliott fumbled, and Jones threw a bad interception.
