Overview
- Kickoff is 4 p.m. PT on FS1 at Autzen Stadium in Eugene.
- Oregon is coming off a 56-10 win at Rutgers with 750 total yards, including 415 rushing, as freshmen backs Jordon Davison and Dierre Hill Jr. draw growing attention.
- Wisconsin has dropped five straight and was shut out in its last two games, with injuries and turnover at quarterback after Billy Edwards Jr.’s knee sprain led to starts by Danny O’Neil and Hunter Simmons.
- The Ducks have allowed 12 of 20 conversions on third-and-3-or-less and 8 of 12 on fourth-down runs, a recurring short-yardage issue the staff says it is targeting to fix.
- The Badgers’ run defense ranks 18th nationally at about 97.6 rushing yards allowed per game (3.54 per carry), and most predictions forecast Oregon to cover a roughly 31–34 point line.
