EUGENE, Ore. (Interstat) — The Oregon Ducks, riding high after a tough road win, return to Autzen Stadium on Friday, Nov. 14, 2025, to host the Minnesota Golden Gophers in a nonconference clash.

Oregon (8-1) is coming off an 18-16 victory at Iowa, where its ground game, led by Noah Whittington’s 118 rushing yards, proved decisive. The Ducks’ lone blemish is a 30-20 home loss to Indiana on Oct. 11.

Minnesota (6-3) arrives on the heels of a 23-20 home win over Michigan State on Nov. 1. Quarterback Drake Lindsey threw for two touchdowns in the victory, and running back Fame Ijeboi added 108 rushing yards and a score. The Golden Gophers have shown resilience but were blown out in their two toughest road tests this season, losing 41-3 at Iowa and 42-3 at Ohio State.

Despite Minnesota’s status as a substantial underdog at +25.5 points, the Interstat game simulator projects a more competitive 35-22 victory for the Ducks. The over/under is set at 44.5.

The game pits Oregon’s potent offense, which has scored at least 30 points in seven of its nine games, against a Minnesota team seeking a statement road win to bolster its season resume.
