Oregon is looking for momentum after suffering it's first Big Ten Conference regular season loss - a 30-20 defeat at home to the No. 3 Indiana Hoosiers.  With a win, the Ducks can extend the nation's longest road winning streak to 10 games. However, Oregon cannot overlook Rutgers - it's important that one loss doesn't turn into multiple losses.

QUOTABLE During his Monday press conference, Rutgers coach Greg Schiano was asked about the difference in NIL budget between Rutgers and Oregon.

"Yeah, how wide the gap is really doesn’t matter. That’s where we find ourselves today, right? So I’ve never believed in that," Schiano said. "People like to talk about these gaps, and there are, but that’s not new. I’ve been doing this for 37 years. There’s always been haves and have-nots, right? I think the gaps are actually gonna start to close a little bit, which is good."
