The Oregon Ducks are heading on the road this week for a pivotal Big Ten clash in Ohio, but when the Ducks return home the following week, potentially with conference title hopes still alive, Autzen Stadium will be roaring when one of the Big Ten's premier programs rolls into town.

Oregon will host the Michigan Wolverines on Nov. 14 in Eugene for another afternoon kickoff. The Ducks and Wolverines are set for a 12:30 p.m. PST kickoff, with the game airing live on FS1. It's the fourth-straight noon kickoff for the Ducks and second in a row at home.

Following a theme across the Big Ten, it is expected to be another matchup between backup quarterbacks, with Dylan Raiola going for Oregon and Tommy Carr leading Michigan after Bryce Underwood was benched recently. The Wolverines carry an identical 5-3 record into a home rivalry matchup against Michigan State this week, while the Ducks will travel to face Ohio State.

This will be just the second conference matchup between Oregon and Michigan, after the Ducks laid a 38-17 beatdown on the Wolverines in Ann Arbor back in 2024. Dillon Gabriel accounted for more than 300 yards and two touchdowns, including one to Evan Stewart, while Michigan managed just 270 yards of offense.

Michigan will make the trip to Autzen Stadium for the first time since 2003, when the unranked Ducks upset the No. 3 Wolverines, winning 31-27. Oregon's quarterback tandem of Kellen Clemens and Jason Fife led the way, while Terrance Whitehead accounted for 177 total yards and two touchdowns in the milestone victory.

Neither team's season has gone the way it hoped, falling out of the rankings after beginning the season with respectable placements, but it could become a battle of defenses in Eugene in a mid-November matchup.
