No. 1 Oregon rallies in 4th quarter to beat Wisconsin 16-13

Atticus Sappington broke a tie with a 24-yard field goal with 2:36 remaining and No. 1 Oregon rallied in the fourth quarter to beat Wisconsin 16-13 on Saturday night.

Jordan James rushed for 121 yards and a tying touchdown on 25 carries to help Oregon (11-0, 8-0 Big Ten) win its first 11 games for the second time in school history. The Ducks also won their first 11 games in 2010 and went on to reach the BCS championship game before losing to Cam Newton-led Auburn.

Tawee Walker rushed for 97 yards on 20 carries for Wisconsin (5-5, 3-4) in its third straight loss. The Badgers fell to 2-15 in their last 17 games against Top 25 teams, going 0-6 in Luke Fickell's two-year coaching tenure.

Oregon won by outscoring Wisconsin 10-0 in the fourth quarter.

After Sappington put Oregon ahead, Wisconsin got the ball two more times but failed to capitalize.

Wisconsin lost the ball on downs at its own 26 with 2:03 remaining. The Badgers got one last chance after Oregon couldn't convert a fake field-goal attempt, but Jamaree Caldwell tipped Braedyn Locke's pass and Matayo Uiagalelei picked it off at Wisconsin's 24 with 1:32 left to seal it.

Locke was 12-of-28 for just 96 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

Oregon trailed 13-6 and faced fourth-and-9 from Wisconsin's 41 when the fourth quarter started. Dillon Gabriel responded by rolling to his left and firing a 15-yard completion to a well-covered Terrance Ferguson.

Three plays later, James ran 11 yards around the right end for a tying touchdown with 13:14 remaining.

After a 12-yard punt return from Gary Bryant Jr. gave Oregon the ball at Wisconsin's 43 with 6:49 left, Oregon moved into position for Sappington's go-ahead field goal. Sappington also had made field goals of 35 and
