Wisconsin7 @FINAL 21Oregon , Week 9, Oct 25, 2025

Wisconsin snapped an 11-quarter scoring drought with a late touchdown, but still managed only 7 points. The offense remains ineffective, with quarterback Hunter Simmons throwing for 86 yards, a touchdown, and an interception.

The Badgers were missing top running backs Dilin Jones and Darrion Dupree, leading tackler Christian Alliegro, both starting centers, and other key players. This has severely limited offensive production and defensive stability.

Wisconsin has lost six consecutive games and is 0-5 in conference play. The team's morale is low, but coach Luke Fickell emphasized the importance of incremental progress, starting with scoring points.

Despite the offensive struggles, the defense held No. 6 Oregon to 21 points, including a slow start where Oregon had only 21 yards in the first quarter. The defense kept the game close for much of the contest.

Wisconsin hosts Washington on Nov. 8. The team will need to address offensive consistency and injury issues to have a chance at ending their losing streak.

Oregon had only 21 yards of total offense, including minus-16 rushing yards, and two first downs in the first quarter, scoring their first touchdown late in the first half. This lackluster performance against a struggling Wisconsin team may indicate offensive inconsistency.

Jordon Davison ran for 102 yards and two touchdowns, carrying the offense in rainy weather. The Ducks leaned heavily on the run, which could be a key strategy if similar conditions arise against Iowa.

Dante Moore left the game with a face injury in the third quarter, though coach Dan Lanning described it as a 'ding' and expects him to be fine. Backup Brock Thomas performed well, throwing a touchdown pass, but Moore's status for next week is worth monitoring.

Oregon held Wisconsin to just 7 points, snapping the Badgers' scoreless streak but still allowing a late touchdown. The defense was effective but faced an injury-riddled Wisconsin offense, so their performance may not fully translate against a stronger opponent.

The uninspired win against a team with a six-game losing streak may not boost Oregon's national profile. Coming off a home loss to Indiana, the Ducks need a stronger showing at Iowa to maintain playoff hopes.
