Playing under the pressure of an overt campaign by the Oregon athletic department and alumni to boost his Heisman Trophy candidacy, quarterback Joey Harrington rallies the Ducks to a 31-28 victory over Wisconsin. Harrington completes 22 of 47 passes for 231 yards and rushes for the winning touchdown with four minutes left. Oregon will end the season with an 11-1 record and a No. 2 ranking in the polls behind unbeaten Miami (Florida). After riding the Heisman publicity machine all year long, Harrington will finish fourth in the balloting behind the winner, Eric Crouch of Nebraska.
