Oregon seals win over Wisconsin with game-ending interception to remain undefeated
Oregon escaped a trip to Madison, Wisconsin, with a 16-13 win over the Badgers on Saturday night.
Wisconsin gave the Ducks all they could handle throughout the night and had a chance to go on a game-tying (or game-winning) drive in the final minutes of the game.
However, it wasn’t meant to be.
Braedyn Locke’s pass was tipped at the line of scrimmage and picked off by Matayo Uiagalelei to effectively end the game. Here’s a replay:

Oregon is now 11-0 on the season for the first time since 2010. The Ducks are big favorites to get to the Big Ten title game this season in their first year in the league. Even if Oregon were to drop a game down the stretch, though, it’s possible Dan Lanning’s team has already done enough to earn a bid in the College Football Playoff.
Oregon will be off in Week 13 before facing Washington to close out the regular season on Nov. 30.
