Aaron Flowers ranged in to knock away a long pass near the goal line and get the Oregon defense off the field early in the second quarter. Wisconsin downed the punt at the two in driving rain.
Oregon's offense had gotten little going in their first four possessions, and now they were backed up with little room to operate.
On third and 6 Moore hit Jeremiah McClellan for 18 yards along the left sideline, Oregon's most reliable receiving threat today. On third and 7 the drive looked stalled, but then a screen finally worked, a tunnel screen to reserve tight end Jamari Johnson produced the biggest gain of the game so far, weaving his way up the middle of the field for 23.
