No. 1 Oregon Ducks rally for road win over Wisconsin Badgers - ESPN

MADISON, Wis. — Oregon had yet to score a touchdown on Saturday night when «Jump Around» blared throughout Wisconsin's Camp Randall Stadium, signaling the start of the fourth quarter.

The top-ranked Ducks trailed and faced fourth-and-9. Oregon coach Dan Lanning considered taking a delay of game penalty and punting. Instead, he put his trust in quarterback Dillon Gabriel. And once again, the Heisman Trophy contender delivered.

Unable to find an open receiver, Gabriel scrambled left before threading a pass through a trio of Wisconsin defenders into the chest of tight end Terrance Ferguson for a first down at the Badgers' 26-yard line. Three plays later, the Ducks scored their only touchdown.

That was all need they needed. Oregon survived with a 16-13 victory to remain unbeaten.

According to ESPN Research, the Ducks are the only team in the country to win three times this season after trailing by at least six points in the fourth quarter. They're also just the seventh team in the AP Poll era (since 1936) to start 11-0 with three wins by three or fewer points. Oregon also rallied for wins against Boise State and Ohio State, by a combined margin of four points.

«It's hard to win. Big plays need to happen in big moments,» said Gabriel, who passed for 219 yards versus the Badgers. «Winning games are hard, and we have a team that knows how to win. That just speaks volumes about the guys we have.»

The Ducks didn't make it easy.

Oregon twice settled for field goals in the first half after promising drives. Gabriel also had a pass tipped and intercepted on first-and-goal.

With Oregon's offense scuffling, the Badgers gradually took control with a methodical rushing attack led by running back Tawee Walker, who finished with 97 yards.
