Oregon-Michigan Week 11 Showdown Given Big Update

The Oregon Ducks are getting ready for a big matchup this coming week against the Ohio State Buckeyes on the road.

Oregon is coming off a massive win over the Northwestern Wildcats last week, getting a victory when the program needed it most. The 2026 season hasn't gone to plan for the Ducks, but this team is still capable of pulling off some impressive wins to end the year.

While the Ducks are preparing for the Buckeyes, the team does have another massive game the following week against the Michigan Wolverines. Oregon will be welcoming Michigan into Autzen Stadium, and the game finally has a kickoff time.

The two teams will be kicking off at 12:30 p.m. PT/3:30 p.m. ET from Eugene. The game will be broadcast on FS1 for fans to tune in.

Oregon will try to focus on the upcoming game against the Buckeyes, especially with this being in Columbus. But the matchup for the Ducks against Michigan also pits them against a typical power in college football.

While the Wolverines and Ducks have both seen some issues this season on the field, the matchup should be a good one for fans. Michigan will be starting freshman Tommy Carr, in all likelihood, giving Oregon a chance to do some damage.

The Ducks will likely be starting quarterback Dylan Raiola in the game against Michigan, barring any major changes from the upcoming week. Raiola has done well at times this season, including last week against Northwestern.

The veteran signal-caller threw for 336 yards and three touchdowns, helping the Ducks get the big win. Raiola will have his hands full against Ohio State this coming week, before he gets to face the Wolverines defense as well.

For the year, Raiola has thrown for 1,097 yards with nine touchdowns and two interceptions, playing in place of the injured Dante Moore. Raiola will have all the pressure on him to help Oregon salvage the rest of the season, and if he can get wins against Ohio State and Michigan, it could go a long way for him.

Many expect Raiola to be the Ducks starter next season, and the more confidence he can get from winning here, it should help. But Oregon also wants to end the year on a high note, and even with everything that has gone wrong this season, it could give the program more to work with in the summer.
