GAMEDAY Ducks safety Brady Breeze (25) points to the crowd during the pregame. (DL Young/Emerald)

NO PLACE LIKE HOME FOR BRADY BREEZE BY: Noah Noteboom @noah_boom23 Besides his entertaining post-game interviews and his one-of-a-kind name, Brady Breeze has grown into his own on the Oregon defense.

In the fourth quarter of Oregon’s 24-10 win over the Oregon State Beavers, the Ducks failed to convert on third down and were forced to give the ball back to OSU. With two minutes remaining, Beavers running back Jermar Jefferson lost control of the ball and fumbled.

Breeze, a junior safety, pounced on it and gave the Ducks another chance to seal the game. The very next series, Cyrus Habibi-Likio powered it up the middle for a touchdown, giving the Ducks a twoscore advantage.

Breeze has seen increased action ever since fellow safety Nick Pickett was disqualified in Oregon’s 56-24 victory over USC. He earned the first start of his career at the safety position when

the Ducks faced Arizona the following week.

Against USC, Breeze recovered a fumble from quarterback Kedon Slovis deep in USC’s red zone.

But his impact didn’t stop there. On the ensuing Trojan possession, he proceeded to intercept Slovis and run it back for the first pick six of his career.

“A small-town kid coming from in the state of Oregon and being able to make plays like that is something that I’ll never forget,” Breeze said.

Breeze also registered his collegiate career high of seven tackles. With his performance in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, he was labeled as a “momentum changer” by head coach Mario Cristobal.

Before current defensive coordinator Andy Avalos was hired, Jim Leavitt ran the Ducks defense for two seasons. Under Leavitt, the

6-foot, 196-pound Breeze played both the safety and linebacker positions.

Last season, he recorded just 10 tackles and struggled to crack a crowded depth chart. The experienced Ugo Amadi and breakout true freshman Jevon Holland handled most of the snaps at safety.

Regardless of which position he plays, Breeze has faced and will continue to face competition.

Pickett, his main competitor this year, has the advantage of experience under his belt — starting12 of 13 games last season and recording 59 tackles.

Under Avalos, Breeze plays at the boundary safety position. This means Breeze is responsible for the side of the field closest to the out of bounds sideline.

“It’s more of a true safety spot where I can be a

true strong safety,” Breeze said.

“It feels like it fits my body type and my position type.”

He and teammate La’Mar Winston Jr. both played at in-state high school football powerhouse Central Catholic High. Both were recruited by former head coach Mark Helfrich and stayed on through the shortlived Willie Taggart era. Winston was able to see playing time right away, but Breeze redshirted his freshman year, granting him one more year of eligibility.

season to a Defensive Player of the Week honor and chance to win a Pac-12 Championship. But what he will remember most is seeing his name on the back of an Oregon Ducks jersey.

Other schools like UCLA, Alabama, and Notre Dame offered him an opportunity, but for Breeze there is no place like home.

“This was really humbling hearing this from so many schools, but I knew deep down that Oregon was the place for me,” Breeze said.

WHEN THE LIGHTS SHINE THE BRIGHTEST, MARIO CRISTOBAL REMAINS HUMBLE BY: Clayton Franke @clayfranke1

Generally, in preparations for a conference championship game, a head coach isn’t thinking about the team’s videographers filming practice from above or the nutritionists who are keeping players hydrated at all times.

For Mario Cristobal, however, it’s the roles often deemed insignificant by other head coaches that are a major reason the Ducks will be competing for their first Pac-12 Championship since 2014 on Friday.

“It’s a collective effort,” Cristobal said. “I’m talking about a very family-driven organization. I’m excited for everybody.”

In his second year as the head coach of Oregon football, Cristobal has taken a team that was an unranked loser of the Las Vegas Bowl that finished fourth in the Pac-12 North and transformed it into a two-loss team that contended for the College Football Playoff for most of the year.

But this isn’t how Cristobal sees it.

“When we got here, there were some things to fix, but Oregon’s been great for a long, long time,” he said. “We feel very obligated to uphold that legacy.”

Cristobal is quick to deflect praise. If the team is doing well, it’s always because everyone in the program is pulling their weight. On the contrary, if the team is underperforming, it’s because everyone needs to do better, including himself.

He also carries great humility with respect to his fellow coaches. Obviously he takes pride in Oregon’s football program, but at the end of the day, he supports the interests of the people around him.

PA G E 6

“Opportunities are going to come up for coaches,” Cristobal said. “I’m always in favor of helping guys if they have an opportunity to better their careers as it relates to their goals.”

This humble attitude isn’t new. All season, Cristobal has been modest in his coaching strategy.

For Cristobal, Oregon’s success on the field has never been about his own success. Above all, he is proud of his team and sees this Friday’s championship game as an incredible opportunity for them. He doesn’t get overly excited in front of the media, and even in the spotlight in the buildup to the Pac-12 Championship Game, he holds a calm yet determined demeanor.

This week, the humility of Cristobal and his team was put to the test. After Utah’s 45-15 dismantling of Colorado on Saturday, true freshman Brant Kuithe — who scored three touchdowns in the victory — was anything but humble.

“We’re going to go win that shit,” Kuithe told the Salt Lake Tribune regarding the upcoming conference championship game.

Cristobal leads by example; when he stays humble, his players follow suit.

“We don’t get into that. If you ask our leaders, they will tell you they don’t want to hear it,” Cristobal said. “We respect everybody, we are all about our business and that’s all that matters to us.”

Cristobal recognizes that the Ducks have a big enough challenge in front of them this week without external distractions. The sputtering Oregon offense

needs to find its groove against a defense that ranks near the top of the country in almost every defensive category. The Utes have rattled off eight straight victories and destroyed Colorado on senior day last Saturday. With a short week this week, there’s an extra sense of urgency at practice.

“You have to stay physical at practice, but you can’t overdo it,” Cristobal said. “At this point in the year, if you have some guys banged up, 24 hours could be the difference between being on the field and not being on the field.”

Fortunately for the Ducks, center Jake Hanson practiced Monday and is fully expected to be playing on Friday. Hanson missed the last game and a half with an undisclosed injury, and his absence was a potential culprit for Oregon’s recent offensive woes.

Linebacker Dru Mathis is also cleared to play Friday, but cornerback Daewood Davis is questionable this week and only participated in half of Monday’s practice. Other than these few injuries, the health of the Ducks is looking up.

As the Ducks prepare for the Pac-12 Championship Game, their humble attitude — cultivated by coach Cristobal — gives them an intangible weapon. It allows them to stay focused on the task at hand and recognize the caliber of the opponent they will be facing.

Perhaps most importantly, however, it allows them to recognize that everyone in the program contributes to winning, no matter what their role is.

FROM GAME-WINNING KICKS TO GAME-CLINCHING FUMBLES, THE DUCKS TOP MOMENTS OF 2019 BY: Shane Hoffmann and Brady Lim

SPENCER WEBB’S TOUCHDOWN CATCH VERSUS AUBURN Although the season-opening loss to Auburn will be looked at as one of, if not the most, disappointing moments of the year, the game wasn’t all negative.

One play in particular captured the excitement of Oregon fans and, at the time, seemed to signify a turnaround in the team’s outlook and culture.

As the game neared the end of the first quarter, Oregon looked to extend a 7-3 lead. On secondand-7 in Auburn territory, Justin Herbert took the snap and quickly rolled out of the pocket in an effort to avoid oncoming rushers. After surveying the field, he hurled a downfield prayer.

Redshirt freshman tight end Spencer Webb leapt

into the air and snagged the ball as it fell towards the end zone. While the catch was impressive, it’s what came next that electrified the AT&T Stadium and Ducks fans around the nation.

Webb came down with the ball while simultaneously stiff-arming his defender to the ground with his other arm. He then proceeded to step over the defender in an Allen Iverson-esque manner as his teammates surrounded him in a celebratory embrace. “[The most memorable part was] just looking back at my teammates when I caught it and seeing them go crazy,” Webb said.

The touchdown gave Oregon a 14-3 lead and, although they didn’t pull out the victory, Webb’s vicious catch graced SportsCenter’s Top 10 for days.

“NO FLY ZONE” SHUTS DOWN STEVEN MONTEZ In defensive coordinator Andy Avalos’ first season at the helm, the Ducks’ defense reached heights that the program hadn’t seen in decades. Previously known for their high-flying, speedy offense, Avalos and his group’s early season dominance forced the narrative surrounding Oregon’s program to shift.

Early on, the Ducks’ defense hovered within the top five nationally and at times looked poised to take the mantle of the nation’s best. Inconsistency plagued the group, but as they enter the Pac-12 Championship, they’re still the No. 10 scoring defense in the nation.

Some weeks, the unit looked utterly lost as opposing offenses, like Jayden Daniels’ Sun Devils,

torched the defensive backs and had their way up front. At times, however, they unleashed unrelenting havoc upon opposing offenses. Their week-six dismantling of Colorado, 45-3, was one of those times.

The defense forced Buffs’ senior quarterback Steven Montez into a career-worst game, picking him off on four occasions as they allowed a meager 131 yards through the air. The pass rush got home on multiple occasions, and while they allowed substantial yardage on the ground, it simply didn’t matter as they repeatedly set up Justin Herbert and the offense with excellent field position.

“That’s the best thing,” safety Verone McKinley III said after dragging down two interceptions of his own. “Whenever the offense capitalizes off an

interception or any type of turnover, that’s what we like the most.”

The performance was so dominant, in fact, that players and pundits alike proclaimed the unit was the closest thing to a Gang Green 2.0.

COMEBACK AGAINST WASHINGTON IN SEATTLE Just minutes into the second half at Husky Stadium, Washington quarterback Jacob Eason connected with Puka Nacua to go up 28-14 in front of 70,000 strong, and the Ducks’ entire season seemed to be hanging in the balance. At that moment, ESPN’s win probability predictor gave the Ducks just a 13% chance of winning the game.

Then came one of the best performances of the season from running back Cyrus Habibi-Likio, who ran for 81 yards and a crucial touchdown in the second half.

Just before the end of the third quarter, following Habibi-Likio’s touchdown to bring the Ducks within seven, freshman receiver Mycah Pittman caught his first career touchdown on a crucial fourth-down play. He went for 36 yards down the sideline to bring Oregon within three.

Then, with just over five minutes remaining, Justin Herbert’s five-yard touchdown pass to Jaylon Redd put the Ducks on top, and freshman cornerback Mykael Wright made the play on the Huskies’ final drive to secure the victory.

“I knew in the second half, the team had that look

in their eyes,” Pittman said. “Right when the third quarter started, I knew this game was gonna turn around.”

GAME-WINNING KICK VERSUS WASHINGTON STATE On paper, a healthy Oregon team is one of the most complete in the nation. A stout defense that, while not always flawless, can make up for it with incredible turnover-forcing plays and a balanced offense with a potential top-five pick at the quarterback position. The Ducks even boast a dangerous return game.

One position — or more accurately, one player — however, has been a weak link all season. While he plays perhaps the most unenviable position in sports, freshman kicker Camden Lewis has been disastrous.

Lewis is a mere 2-6 on kicks from 20-29 yards, and while he’s been slightly more successful from 30 yards and on, his inconsistencies have forced the hand of the coaching staff — they’ve chosen to go for it on fourth down on a multitude of occasions

rather than take what should be easy points from a kick. Unsurprisingly, Lewis has caught a glut of fan criticism.

On one Saturday night in late October, though, all was momentarily forgiven as Lewis sent Oregon fans home with a sweep of the Washington schools.

After Washington State took the lead in stunning fashion, the Ducks had just 52 seconds to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Herbert led the offense down the field with several passes in quick succession, giving Lewis a chance to cap off his career day — having already hit a 30- and 40-yarder.

Some fans held their breath; others averted their gaze.But when the ball went through the uprights as the clock hit double zeroes, everyone rejoiced.

Lewis’ teammates swarmed at him from all angles, and coaches and players alike embraced. As his teammates raised the kicker into the air, his hands could be seen forming the trademark Oregon “O.”

DUCKS SECURE JERMAR JEFFERSON’S FUMBLE, AND THE CIVIL WAR ALONG WITH IT

Late in the fourth quarter, the 2019 Civil War was, to the surprise of many, not yet decided. The two previous final scores in the series — 69-10 in 2017 and 55-15 in 2018 — were quickly becoming a distant memory, and the Beavers were driving with a chance to tie the game with their backup quarterback.

With the ball in the hands of star running back Jermar Jefferson, Thomas Graham Jr. stepped up to make a play for the second time in as many drives.

And when Jefferson tried to hurdle him with the game on the line, he popped the ball out. Brady Breeze fell on it, and the Ducks, despite offensive struggles throughout the game, escaped with a victory.

“I turned and looked, I saw him try to go over Thomas,” linebacker Troy Dye said. “Thomas rose up, ball came out, Brady [Breeze] picked it up.

Ballgame.”

That win gave the Ducks a third consecutive victory in the storied series, and concluded the program’s best regular season since 2014.

PLAYERS TO WATCH BY: Oscar Duyck

Oregon QUARTERBACK / JUSTIN HERBERT / OREGON The senior signal caller will have to face down the rugged Utah defense in the Pac-12 championship game. Other than a 28-yard touchdown strike to Johnny Johnson III, Herbert’s final home game of his career was mostly forgettable. He only totaled 174 passing yards against a subpar Beavers’ secondary. Fair or not,

Herbert will take a lot of heat if the Ducks lose to Utah. Herbert’s has had a good statistical season — he has thrown for 3,140 yards and 31 touchdowns. Stats are nice, but a career-defining win is better, and Herbert will have arguably the biggest stage of his career on Friday night.

LINEBACKER / TROY DYE / OREGON The senior linebacker and anchor of Oregon’s defense will need a big game against Utah. Dye is a leader of the Ducks’ revamped defense that is one of the best in the conference. He added to the Oregon-Washington rivalry with a viral moment this year after the Washington game when made a “dubs down” hand gesture.

In the Civil War, the Oregon defense

bailed out Oregon’s offense again as they held the Beavers to 10 points.

Dye has the stats to back up his trash talk. He has 67 total tackles on the year, along with two sacks and an interception. Dye will need to bring his energy style of football against the Utes in what could be a defensive slugfest.

Ducks quarterback Justin Herbert (10) looks for a pass. (D L Young/Emerald)

Utah RUNNING BACK / ZACK MOSS / UTAH Moss is one of the best running backs in the conference. He’s racked up 1,246 yards on the ground and has 15 rushing touchdowns on the year. The senior has three straight seasons rushing over 1,000 yards.

Moss has also been used as a receiver with 22 receptions for

317 yards and a touchdown. His best performance came against the hapless Arizona defense, when he rushed for 203 yards. He had a 91-yard run against Oregon State.

The Oregon front seven will have their work cut out for them trying to contain Moss.

LINEBACKER / DEVIN LLOYD / UTAH Utah has one of the best defenses in the country, and Lloyd has stepped up his game in his sophomore season. After a lackluster 2018 season in which he had only six tackles, Lloyd in 2019 leads the team with 76 total tackles on the year.

He had a 64-yard pick six in Utah’s

rout of Oregon State. Lloyd also can get to the quarterback and has 4.5 sacks on the season. Lloyd and the rest of the Utah defense will cause the Oregon offense problems if they play like they did during the Civil War. If the Ducks don’t step up on Friday, Lloyd will punish them.

MATCHUPS BY: Shane Hoffmann @shane_hoffmann

Linebacker Troy Dye vs. Tight end Brant Kuithe Utah’s offense isn’t the most explosive in the nation, let alone the conference, but stopping its efficient balance of the run and pass is a daunting task with the No. 3 scoring defense on the other side.

The Utes don’t have a dominant go-to threat — rather, a well-rounded, deep receiving core. Six different Utes have recorded at least 17 catches on the year, headlined by tight end Brant Kuithe’s 29.

Kuithe, a sophomore, leads the team in receiving yards with 550 as well as touchdowns with six, all of which have come over the last three weeks.

Surprisingly, three of the tight end’s touchdowns have been on the ground rather than through the air. On just five rushes, Kuithe has amassed for 73 yards.

Unless defensive coordinator Andy Avalos elects to cover the elusive tight end with a safety or nickel like Jevon Holland, which is entirely possible, Troy Dye with be tasked with covering Kuithe. Dye’s an effective run defender and even more dangerous as a blitzer, but his pass coverage is what sets him apart from his peers. When backups such as MJ Cunningham and Sampson Niu were forced to play in Dye’s injury-induced absence, his presence was sorely missed.

In his four years as a starter, Dye has faced a bevy of talented pass-catchers.

Sunday’s matchup may not be the most elite of his career, but it could be one of the most important if he and his fellow seniors hope to earn a spot in the Rose Bowl.

Quarterback Justin Herbert vs. His legacy What will Justin Herbert be remembered for?

Outside of the season’s opening, his name has largely been absent from Heisman watch lists. But it’s not because he doesn’t have the makings of a Heisman hopeful. He saw starting time in all four seasons. Although he missed time with injuries, his play elevated a drowning program.

The reason he hasn’t found his way into the Heisman race isn’t because he’s on a Pac-12 team that plays most of their games after dark. Simply put, Herbert hasn’t had his Heisman moment.

He had his chance against Auburn, but regardless of who’s at fault, a loss is a loss. In the following weeks, he dropped back-to-back fivetouchdown games, but against two teams outside of the Power 5.

As Pac-12 play began, Oregon rattled off seven straight. Herbert had

his ups against Stanford, Washington and USC, but also had his downs.

A consideration for the Heisman requires near-flawless performance each week.

In the last two weeks, the Ducks have played back-to-back lackluster games offensively. His comeback attempt against Arizona State was impressive, but his accuracy issues were in large part to blame for Oregon’s need for a comeback.

Friday’s game will not only be Oregon’s greatest test, but Herbert’s chance to cement his legacy should he lead his team to a victory and Rose Bowl appearance.

No matter how the next weeks go for Herbert, he’ll be considered one of the best quarterbacks in program history. But without a signature moment, his legacy could fade with every passing year.

DEEP DIVE INTO

UTAH

BY: Charles Gearing @GearingCharlie Throughout the 2019 season, the Utah Utes have proven to be a legitimate candidate for a place in the College Football Playoff.

Finishing the season ranked No. 1 in the Pac-12 South and No. 5 in the nation, the Utes have one more obstacle standing in their way: a 10-2 Oregon squad. With a win on Friday, the Utes could very well pave their way to the Playoff.

But with a loss, their future would be left uncertain. The stakes have seldom been higher in Salt Lake City.

This won’t be the first time the Utes have been to Santa Clara. Last year, they took on Washington for the rights to a Rose Bowl appearance, and they were met with great resistance. The Utes were stymied by a stout Huskies defense, eventually losing 10-3.

With a bad taste in their mouth from last season’s showing, the Utes will have another shot at it against the Ducks on Friday.

The Utah defense has received national recognition, sitting at No. 3 nationally in total defense. The Utes have shown great efficiency on the offensive side as well, ranking No. 3 in the Pac-12 in total offense.

The Utah defense, which allows only 11.3 points per game, has performed particularly well against the run. The Utes’ talented front seven allow an average of only 56.3 rushing yards per game.

Defensive end Bradlee Anae has

PA G E 1 4

|

been elite in both stopping the run and getting in on the pass rush. The senior from Laie, Hawaii, has been dominant, recording 12.5 sacks and 13.5 tackles for a loss this season.

The Utah defense has also done very well in disrupting the passing game throughout 2019. The Utes rank first in the Pac-12 in passing yards allowed at only 185.3 per game.

The Utah secondary features an arsenal of well-rounded defensive backs, at the center of which is senior Julian Blackmon. Blackmon leads the team in interceptions with 4 on the season, while Jaylon Johnson leads the Utes in passes defended with 10.

While Utah exhibits offensive talent across the board, it has become clear that their offensive identity lies in their ability to run the ball. With the help of senior running back Zack Moss, the Utes have been elite in this regard, leading the Pac-12 while tallying 34 total rushing touchdowns on the season. Moss leads the team as well as the Pac-12 in both touchdowns and yards per game, with 15 and 113.3, respectively.

Utah will face a desperate yet talented Oregon team on Friday in Santa Clara. The Ducks will surely throw the kitchen sink at them, and the Utes will be forced to stand tall in the face of adversity if they hope to achieve their goal of a playoff berth.
