The Badgers football team comes off its second bye week, but it faces a key stretch that starts with No. 1 Oregon. Here's what Luke Fickell had to say Monday.

The Ducks might have the most explosive offense of the bunch. Led by Heisman Trophy candidate Dillon Gabriel, the team ranks 11 th in the nation in total offense with an average of 457 yards per game and is 19 th in scoring with 35.7 points per contest.

Wisconsin enters the matchup after dropping its previous two games to Penn State and Iowa by a combined 47 points. Still, the opportunity for a signature upset lies right in front of Wisconsin. That’s what Fickell plans to convey to his players this week.
