The Ducks (5-1, 2-1 Big Ten) are coming off a 30-20 loss to then-No. 7 Indiana. In that game, Oregon quarterback Dante Moore had his toughest outing of the season, throwing for less than 200 yards for the first time and recording two interceptions. The performance resulted in his lowest quarterback rating of the season at 33.2.
Oregon will put the nation’s longest road-winning streak on the line against a Rutgers team (3-3, 0-3) that has struggled. The Scarlet Knights have not defeated a ranked opponent in 16 years, the longest such drought among Power Four schools. Rutgers, which is tied for 112th in the country in passing yards allowed, is in danger of missing a bowl game for the first time in three seasons and must win at least three of its final six games to be eligible.
Despite their struggles, the Scarlet Knights have been effective in the red zone during their three Big Ten games, scoring 11 times in 17 trips, including nine touchdowns and two field goals. Their offense features three wide receivers on the Biletnikoff Award watch list: Ian Strong, KJ Duff and DT Sheffield. Strong is tied for seventh in the nation with 7.2 receptions per game.
Oregon has been one of the most disciplined teams in the country, committing just 25 penalties this season, which is tied for 10th fewest in the nation. On defense, true freshman cornerback Brandon Finney Jr. has started all six games. Against Indiana, he recorded his first career pick-6 and had four solo tackles, bringing his season total to 13 tackles.
