‘How do you want to die?’: No. 1 Oregon football is making a third fourth-quarter comeback this season by staying true to itself and staying ahead of Wisconsin
MADISON, Wisc. – For the better part of a year, Oregon faced questions about how it would fit into the Big Ten. About the weather. About travel and time zone changes. And above all, the question of whether the Ducks could withstand the physical toll that comes with playing in the illustrious Conference known for its stout offensive lines, downhill run games and imposing defensive front sevens.
Surviving a 16-13 road test at Wisconsin in front of a sellout crowd of 76,298 at Camp Randall Stadium, the top-ranked Ducks staged another comeback in the third fourth quarter, outscoring a new conference foe known for ground game, and made critical plays during the eighth conference game in as many weeks – something no other team in the country had to do.
