Coming off their second bye week, the Wisconsin Badgers had a chance to collect their first actual signature win under Luke Fickell. Despite holding Oregon to six points in three quarters, Wisconsin fell 16-13 in the most heartbreaking loss of the season.
It was another disappointing showing for the offense, particularly the passing game. Quarterback Braedyn Locke finished with 96 yards of passing, one touchdown, and one interception.
Too many times, Locke was inaccurate with his throws, and the “Air Raid” offense remained stagnant. This game was the breaking point for Fickell, who fired offensive coordinator Phil Longo on Sunday.
