Wisconsin vs. Oregon score, Rose Bowl 2020: Justin Herbert's three rushing TDs send Ducks to victory

Just because the Rose Bowl is beautiful doesn’t mean every win in The Coliseum has to pretty. No. 6 Oregon beat No. 8 Wisconsin 28-27 on Wednesday evening in an ugly contest beneath a breathtaking sky. It was a game filled with plenty of tension but more mistakes than brilliant plays.

Oregon began the game with a 12-play, 75-yard drive that ended with a 4-yard Justin Herbert touchdown run. Oregon managed only 128 more yards on offense the rest of the game, though it reached the end zone three more times. All three of those touchdowns were either the direct result of Wisconsin turnovers or came after after the miscues.

Herbert finished the game with only 138 yards passing, but he did enough with his legs to get the win. He scored three rushing touchdowns, including a 30-yard scamper on a read-option play late in the fourth quarter following the Badgers fourth turnover of the night. The Ducks defense then forced a three-and-out, and the Oregon offense bled the rest of the clock to hold on for the win.

The victory improves Oregon’s record to 12-2, it’s first 12-win season since it won 13 games in 2014 and reached the College Football Playoff National Championship. Wisconsin finishes 10-4 with two straight losses to end the season.
