The Wisconsin Badgers (5-4, 3-3 Big Ten) will host the No. 1 Oregon Ducks (10-0, 7-0 Big Ten) at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET, 6:30 p.m. CT. It will be the seventh all-time meeting between the two programs.
The Badgers and Ducks have split their six prior matchups, but Oregon comes in on a three-game win streak, including Rose Bowl wins in 2011 and 2019.
The Ducks defeated Wisconsin 28-27 in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, 2020 with quarterback Justin Herbert leading the Ducks to a game-winning drive with less than eight minutes left while trailing 27-21.
In the contest, Herbert was limited to 14 completions on 20 pass attempts for 138 yards and an interception, but he did score three times on the ground, churning out 29 rushing yards in the game.
Over on the Badgers’ side of things, quarterback Jack Coan completed 23 of 25 passes for 186 yards and a touchdown, also throwing an interception in the contest. Wide receiver Quintez Cephus was on the receiving end of the touchdown, finishing his day with 59 yards and the score on seven receptions.
