Oregon Holds Off Wisconsin in Low-Scoring Week 12 Matchup
Oregon defeated Wisconsin 16-13 on Saturday in a tightly contested game that saw 18 lead changes and significant momentum swings throughout. The Ducks scored early with 6 points in the first quarter, then held scoreless through the second and third quarters while Wisconsin answered with 10 second-quarter points and a third-quarter field goal.
The fourth quarter became the deciding factor, with Oregon outscoring Wisconsin 10-0 to secure the victory. Dillon Gabriel's Oregon offense generated key plays, including a 25-yard completion to Terrance Ferguson in the first quarter and another 15-yard strike to Ferguson in the fourth that moved the chains. Wisconsin's defense made an early statement with Nyzier Fourqurean's first-quarter interception return for 10 yards, and the Badgers' Braedyn Locke connected with Vinny Anthony II for 43 yards in the second quarter.
Tawee Walker led Wisconsin's ground game with 97 rushing yards, while Evan Stewart caught 92 receiving yards for Oregon. The game finished under the 50.5 over-under, with Wisconsin failing to cover the 13.5-point spread.
