Northwestern is currently ranked No. 24 in the AP Poll, and head coach David Braun and former Oregon head coach Chip Kelly have led the Wildcats to a 5-1 record this season. Northwestern narrowly missed an upset of Indiana earlier in the season but recently defeated Penn State and Michigan State. The Ducks will face their third ranked opponent of the season, as Boise State and Oklahoma State have recently entered the rankings. Oregon quarterback Aidan Chiles, who played for Northwestern in 2024, leads the Ducks. This will be Northwestern offensive coordinator Chip Kelly's first visit to Eugene since 2024, when he was the offensive coordinator for Ohio State. The Ducks will need to contend with Northwestern's strong running game as they look to secure a win.",
