The Wisconsin Badgers and Oregon Ducks will kick off at 7 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. CT from Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon, next Saturday. The game will be broadcast on Fox Sports 1.
Wisconsin enters the game at 2-5 following a 34-0 loss to Ohio State in Week 7. The team has lost five straight games since starting the season 2-0, the last two by a combined margin of 71-0. After Saturday’s loss, Wisconsin still hasn’t defeated a Power Four opponent since a 23-3 win over Northwestern on Oct. 19, 2024.
Oregon, on the other hand, currently sits within the nation’s top 10 following its blowout win over Rutgers in Week 8. The team is 6-1 (3-1 Big Ten) through seven games, the one loss coming to the No. 3-ranked and undefeated Indiana Hoosiers.
Wisconsin is sure to be a significant underdog when it travels west next weekend. A night-game environment at Autzen Stadium should make a potential upset bid even more difficult.

MADISON, Wis. – Julian Sayin threw for a career-high 394 yards and four touchdowns, Carnell Tate had his first multi-touchdown game of the season and No. 1 Ohio State took care of Wisconsin in its latest lopsided win.
After beating No. 17 Illinois 34-16 on Oct. 11, the Buckeyes beat the Badgers 34-0 as Wisconsin was shut out for a second consecutive game.
Before the Wisconsin crowd could “jump around” after the third quarter, the Buckeyes (7-0, 4-0 Big Ten) had already built a 27-0 lead that felt more lopsided than the score showed. A 2-yard touchdown pass to Will Kacmarek with 1:15 left in the third made it a 27-point lead, and Wisconsin fans were already chanting for coach Luke Fickell to be fired when the quarter back to a close.
To that point, Ohio State had amassed 415 yards of total offense while the Badgers (2-5, 0-4) had only 76.
Here are the game’s key moments and takeaways:
Ohio State defense was dominating once again
This matchup heavily favored the Buckeyes going into the game, and the Ohio State defense did not disappoint. Ohio State entered the game No. 1 nationally in scoring defense at 6.8 points per game, fourth in total defense at 229.0 yards allowed per game and top-10 in both rushing and passing defense.
Against a Wisconsin offense last in the Big Ten in scoring (15.5 points per game) and total offense (292.5 yards per game), the Buckeyes were in control throughout.
Ohio State’s Carnell Tate has another big game
The highlight of the game was Ohio State’s first touchdown. After the Buckeyes forced a three-and-out on the first possession of the game, Sayin steadily moved the ball down the field before finding the end zone on a 33-yard touchdown pass to Tate. The wideout came up with the ball despite coverage by two Wisconsin defenders and hung onto it even as his helmet was knocked off in the process.
Sayin found Tate on Ohio State’s final play of the first quarter, a 10-yard touchdown pass that put the Buckeyes ahead 17-0 with four seconds left in the quarter.
Ohio State running game again struggles to find traction
Much of the talk leading into the game was about whether the Buckeyes could establish a more consistent rushing attack than the one averaging 4.7 yards per rush and had amassed only 2.9 per carry the week before at Illinois. Instead, the Buckeyes threw those thoughts to the wind – and the ball as well. Ohio State marched down the field on its opening drive with Sayin completing all eight of his passes for 95 yards as the Buckeyes ran it just once for minus-1 yard.
Fifteen of Ohio State’s first 20 plays were passes, and the Buckeyes had 169 passing yards and 18 rushing yards while building a 17-0 lead during the first quarter. Ohio State scored its first 10 points without picking up a yard on the ground. At halftime, Sayin was 23 of 26 for 235 yards and the Buckeyes had carried the ball nine times for 30 yards.
Wisconsin entered the game with the No. 19 rush defense in the country, allowing 97.5 yards per game.
Ohio State special teams struggle again
Another game, another handful of plays on special teams that seem like cause for concern.
Ohio State began the day ranked 101st nationally in punting average at 41.2 yards per punt. Joe McGuire had nine of the 10 punts, averaging 42.3 yards per punt, and his lone first-half punt went for 42 yards to give Wisconsin the ball on its own 36-yard line. Kicker Jayden Fielding’s only miss on five field goal attempts this year was from 53 yards, but after making a 38-yarder in the first quarter he was wide right on a 38-yarder with 1:07 left in the first half.
The most egregious example, though, came when Wisconsin punter Sean West picked up roughly 20 yards to convert a fourth-and-19 play on the first play of the fourth quarter as students were already heading for the exits immediately after “Jump Around” had finished playing through the speakers. It was the longest play of the game for the Badgers to that point.
It only delayed the inevitable, however. The drive still ended with a Wisconsin punt — for real, this time.

Wisconsin’s ‘Best Place To Live’ Is A Foodie’s Utopia With A Revitalized Downtown And Scenic River Trails – Islands
Located in Wisconsin’s Chippewa Valley, the university town of Eau Claire has reinvented itself over the years with investments to improve its scenic river trails and downtown area. Once a sawmill hub, the city has shifted from its industrial roots to become an artsy town hailed by some as the “Indie Capital Of The Midwest.” Today, the community and nonprofits like Downtown Eau Claire, Inc. are transforming local riverfront areas into river trails, parks, and new businesses and restaurants.
The U.S. News & World Report named Eau Claire Wisconsin’s best city to live in and among the country’s top 50 places to live from 2025 through 2026. Here, the median home value is $230,903, far below the national average of $370,489. Commuting to work takes, on average, under 13 minutes, and unemployment is lower than the national average of 4.5%. Combine all of that with a healthy job market, revamped downtown, and river trails, and chances are, after visiting Eau Claire, you might want to move there.
Most visitors reach the city by flying into the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, the Midwest airport that is widely recognized as North America’s best. It’s located 93 miles west of the city, so to get into town, you can either rent a car, use a ridesharing app, or take a shuttle that links Eau Claire with the Twin Cities. Once you arrive, the downtown area is easily accessible on foot and hugged by Phoenix Park and Owen Park, filled with scenic trails. After exploring those trails, sightseers can end their night with a performance at the Pablo Center at the Confluence and dinner at one of the city’s 380+ restaurants.
Discover Eau Claire’s downtown flavors, shops, and shows
Downtown Eau Claire is a vibrant community with an eclectic mix of independent shops, craft breweries, and innovative restaurants. It even has an ultra-modern performance venue. The creative hub here is the Pablo Center at the Confluence, a state-of-the-art, 130,000-square-foot venue that hosts musical performances and visual art exhibitions.
Instead of chain restaurants, downtown Eau Claire has a variety of locally-owned eateries serving a diverse range of cuisines — from Asian and Cajun food to Mediterranean and contemporary Italian fare. At Madden Ramen, try a flavorful poke bowl. Established in 1881, the Amber Inn Bar and Grill remains one of the city’s oldest continuously operating businesses. Once a saloon and tavern, it now serves up juicy burgers like the one-of-a-kind peanut butter and bacon burger. You can also get slow-cooked beef birria tacos at California Tacos, or stop by 3rd & Vine, a taproom that pairs craft beer and local cheeses.
In keeping with Eau Claire’s indie mindset, shops like Wisconsin Makers Market sell homemade goods from regional artisans and hold community classes and workshops. The Local Store lives up to its name by selling gifts, art, and home goods made by neighborhood creatives. Other locally-owned shops to check out include the independent bookstore Dotters Books and EC Vintage, a unique retro boutique. To end the night, head to Lazy Monk Brewing Company, a German-style beer hall overlooking the Chippewa River State Trail. Or, if you are feeling more playful, check out the arcade games at Reboot Social, a restaurant that serves up entertainment, cocktails, mocktails, and classic American pub food.
Experience the land and river trails of Eau Claire
Recreational activities are a key investment area for Eau Claire. In 2024, the city conducted a survey showing that visiting outdoor enthusiasts boost local businesses by visiting restaurants (56%), stopping by coffee shops (55%), and exploring downtown (35%). Due to this, the community has worked to upgrade over 70 miles of trails throughout the region.
One major trail worth visiting is the Chippewa River State Trail. Starting at Phoenix Park, it extends 30 miles along the river, joins the Red Cedar State Trail in the Dunnville Wildlife Area, and ends in the city of Durand. The section within city limits is about 11 miles long and free to use. However, a state trail pass is required for bicycling and in-line skating on the rest of the trail; a daily pass will run you $5. The 10-foot wide paved trail is great for biking, running, and roller-blading in the warmer months. In the winter, you can bust out your cross-country skis and snowmobiles in designated areas.
Beyond land, there’s also the Chippewa River Water Trail, which begins at Phoenix Park and runs more than 30 miles south toward Durand. The 4.2-mile stretch through downtown is popular for kayaking, canoeing, and tubing, giving visitors a unique perspective of the city and a close-up view of old lumber-era pilings along the banks. For tubing along the river, bring your own inflatable and pump it up. Or, rent a tube and a life jacket for $20 at Eau Claire Outdoors. There, you can also rent a stand-up paddle boat, kayak, or canoe for a day on the water. For more charming Wisconsin riverfront fun, head south approximately 40 miles to visit Whitehall.
