A low-scoring battle could be in store for this Saturday's game at Autzen Stadium, as the Oregon Ducks and Michigan Wolverines bring strong defenses to Eugene in a pivotal Big Ten matchup.

The Ducks appear to have solved some of their offensive woes after parting ways with offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer following a loss to Illinois. Since Jay Johnson took over play-calling duties, the Ducks have scored 37.5 points per game in wins over Northwestern and Ohio State.

Now, Michigan is seeking a similar change.

One day after losing 15-6 at home to rival Michigan State, the Wolverines are parting ways with offensive coordinator Jason Beck, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel. Beck was in his first season on the job after following head coach Kyle Whittingham to Ann Arbor from Utah.

Offensive line coach Jim Harding is expected to take over as the interim offensive coordinator, per On3's Pete Nakos.

Michigan has the No. 132 offense and the No. 109 rushing offense in the country this season — a far cry from the top-10 offense Beck commanded in Salt Lake City last season. The Wolverines haven't been able to run or throw the ball to much effect this season and benched former five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood earlier this season.

The Wolverines mustered just 192 yards of offense against the Spartans and were being shut out until scoring a late touchdown in the fourth quarter. Michigan is averaging just 19.8 points per game this season, second-worst in the Big Ten.

Oregon has played stifling defense in recent weeks and figures to be in for another good matchup against Michigan's offense. However, the Ducks know all too well how a change in philosophy at offensive coordinator can change the outlook for an offense.

Oregon will host Michigan on Saturday at Autzen Stadium, with kickoff set for 12:30 p.m. PST. The game will be broadcast live on FS1.
