Surging Ducks Host Michigan
Coming off its second straight win over a ranked opponent, No. 23 Oregon returns home this Saturday to host Michigan in Autzen Stadium. It will mark the seventh meeting between the Ducks and Wolverines, with Oregon riding a three-game winning streak to pull even in the all-time series, 3-3, after a 38-17 win in Ann Arbor in 2024. Michigan will make its second trip to Autzen Stadium, and first since a 31-27 Oregon win in 2003. The Ducks followed up their home win over No. 20 Northwestern with a dominant comeback win last week at No. 12 Ohio State, their third ranked win of the season and 18th under HC Dan Lanning.

A Win Would...
» Be Oregon's fourth straight over Michigan and give the Ducks a 4-3 lead in the all-time series.
» Improve UO to 22-3 in Big Ten play since joining the league, including 11-2 in conference home games.
» Make UO 31-3 at home under HC Dan Lanning and 59-5 at home since the start of 2017.

Last Time vs. Michigan
Oregon is 1-0 against Michigan under HC Dan Lanning, picking up the program's third straight win over the Wolverines on Nov. 2, 2024, with a dominant 38-17 victory in front of 110,576 fans at The Big House. The Ducks were the No. 1 ranked team in the nation at the time, winning their ninth straight game on their way to a perfect 13-0 start and a Big Ten Championship in their inaugural year in the league. Oregon outscored the defending national champions 21-3 in the second quarter to take a 28-10 halftime lead and never looked back, putting up 470 total yards of offense while holding the Wolverines to just 270. Among current Ducks who played in that game, WR Evan Stewart caught three passes for 16 yards and a touchdown, OLB Matayo Uiagalelei had a sack and a forced fumble, OLB Teitum Tuioti and DL A'Mauri Washington each made two tackles, and ILB Devon Jackson had one tackle.

Ducks Blitz Buckeyes With 38 Straight
Oregon showed its toughness and resiliency once again last week, claiming its second straight comeback win over a ranked opponent. After trailing 14-0 through the first quarter, the Ducks rattled off 38 unanswered points to storm back and knock off No. 12 Ohio State, 41-28, at Ohio Stadium. UO scored 17 points in the second quarter to take a 17-14 halftime lead, and then added 14 points in the third quarter to break the game open. The Ducks' defense shut the Buckeyes down in the second and third quarters, allowing zero points and just 39 total yards across those 30 minutes. Oregon's offense found its groove after managing just 61 yards in the first quarter, finishing the game with 395 total yards and scoring touchdowns on three straight drives in the middle eight minutes of the game. QB Dylan Raiola threw for 257 yards and two touchdowns, including one to WR Dakorien Moore and one to RB Brandon Smith, and RB Dierre Hill Jr. ran for a pair of scores while TE Jamari Johnson added one on a fourth-and-goal sneak. OLB Teitum Tuioti made perhaps the play of the game, completing a 30-yard pass on a fake punt to OLB Matayo Uiagalelei late in the first half to set up Johnson's touchdown run. Uiagalelei had 1.5 sacks and ILB Devon Jackson made a career-high 3.0 tackles for loss to lead the defense.

Historic Comeback
The Ducks did what no team has been able to do in more than 25 years in Week 10, becoming the first school to beat Ohio State in Ohio Stadium when the Buckeyes held a lead of 14 points or more. Oregon scored 38 unanswered points after falling behind 14-0 through the first quarter, snapping a streak of 140 straight wins for the Buckeyes at home when leading by 14-plus points and becoming the first team since Wisconsin on Oct. 13, 2001, to complete such a comeback. The Ducks' 38 straight points gave them a 24-point lead, the largest deficit at home for Ohio State since trailing by 29 vs. Illinois on Nov. 13, 1999. The win marked Oregon's second straight comeback win of 14 points after the Ducks came back from a 20-6 deficit in Week 9, marking the first time UO has ever come back from 14-plus points in back-to-back games and doing so multiple times in the same season for the first time since 1971. Oregon's comeback was fueled by a dominant middle portion of the game, as the Ducks racked up 31 points and 295 total yards between the second and third quarters while holding the Buckeyes scoreless with just 39 total yards across those 30 minutes.

Building the Resume
Oregon is surging after a 4-3 start to the season, keeping its postseason hopes alive with back-to-back ranked wins over No. 20 Northwestern and No. 12 Ohio State. The Ducks are one of only four teams nationally (Georgia, Texas, Ole Miss) with three or more wins over ranked opponents this year, also winning at No. 12 USC in Week 4. Oregon and Alabama are the only FBS teams with multiple double-digit road wins over ranked opponents, beating the Trojans by 14 in Los Angeles and the Buckeyes by 13 in Columbus. The Ducks also have a win over Boise State, currently No. 17 in the Associated Press poll and No. 25 in the College Football Playoff rankings. One of UO's losses was a two-point loss to UCLA, the current No. 8 team in the CFP rankings and the lone remaining undefeated Big Ten team. Oregon's win at Ohio State moved the Ducks up to No. 18 in the AP poll, and the Ducks came in at No. 23 in the initial CFP rankings last week. The newest CFP rankings going into Week 11 will be released on Tuesday.

Home Cookin'
Oregon has been one of the most dominant teams in the nation at home over the last decade-plus. The Ducks own college football's longest active nonconference home winning streak at 40 games following its wins over Boise State and Portland State. Oregon has not lost a nonconference home game since Sept. 20, 2008 - a 37-32 loss to Boise State - and is a dominant 103-16-3 all-time in nonconference games in Autzen Stadium. UO is 105-13 at home overall since 2009, good for an .890 winning percentage that ranks third in college football in that stretch. Oregon is 48-3 (.940) at home since an overtime loss to Stanford on Sept. 22, 2018, a span that included 23 straight home wins to match the longest home win streak in program history. The Ducks are 58-5 at home since 2017, ranking fourth nationally with a .921 winning percentage in that span. Oregon owns a stellar 30-3 record at home since Dan Lanning took over in 2022, ranking fourth in the country with a .909 winning percentage.

Finding Their Groove
The Ducks have started to click offensively over the last two games, scoring 34 points and 41 points in ranked wins over Northwestern and Ohio State, respectively. Oregon's 37.5 points per game over the last two weeks is best in the Big Ten and tied for 18th nationally in that span, and its nine touchdowns also lead the conference while tying for 19th in the FBS. Both games saw the Ducks get off to slow starts before finding their groove, scoring three touchdowns in the final two minutes of the first half between the two contests. Oregon put up 441 total yards against Northwestern before finishing with 395 against Ohio State, with end-of-game kneel downs bringing the Ducks' total down below 400. Over the last two games, QB Dylan Raiola has completed 47-of-71 passes for 593 yards and five touchdowns with no interceptions.

Tackling Machines
Oregon has proven to be one of the nation's best tackling teams in 2026, tying with North Texas for first in the FBS with a 90.4 tackling grade from Pro Football Focus. DB Ify Obidegwu leads the team with a 90.7 tackling grade, fourth-best in the Big Ten and tied for 11th nationally, and he delivered huge hits on back-to-back plays in Week 10 at Ohio State. DB Koi Perich is second with an 89.0 tackling grade while leading the team in total tackles with 58, and ILB Devon Jackson is second with 56 while earning an 85.3 tackling grade.

Pass-Rush Race
Senior outside linebackers Matayo Uiagalelei and Teitum Tuioti are among the Big Ten's best pass rushers, and they are in a race to make Oregon history. Uiagalelei is currently fourth all-time at UO with 26.0 career sacks, and Tuioti is eighth with 22.5. They are the seventh and eighth Ducks, respectively, ever to reach 20.0 career sacks and are trying to catch the all-time record of 29.5 held by Nick Reed (2005-08). Uiagalelei is second in the Big Ten with 7.5 sacks this season while Tuioti is tied for seventh at 5.5.
