'I'm thinking to myself, wow, this is just like when Tony Washington scored that touchdown against Florida State,' Breeze said of the iconic play from the 2015 Rose Bowl win. One of several Oregon natives on the team, the significance of his 31-yard third quarter touchdown was different than what it would've been for most teammates. He also broke up a pass for what could've been a long Badger touchdown when Kendric Pryor got behind the Oregon defense on a botched coverage.Ī game like this means a little more for a player like Breeze. Breeze also led the game with a career-best 11 tackles. Simply put, Oregon doesn't win its third Rose Bowl in eight years without Breeze's contributions. It's been a blessing and our team has just stayed faithful.' 'We've worked so hard as a defense and as an offense and special teams, it's nice to see us come together and come together as teammates. 'To be able to make plays in the Rose Bowl like that is just incredible,' he said after the 28-27 win over Wisconsin. In the fourth quarter, Oregon gained possession to set up Justin Herbert's heroic 30-yard scamper because of a fumble Breeze forced. Breeze picked it up and raced into the end zone for the go-ahead score. Trailing for much of the game, Breeze raced towards Wisconsin punter Anthony Lotti in the third quarter, the pressure forced Lotti to mishandle the ball. Breeze helped put the Ducks in the lead twice - the second time for good. Since being inserted into the starting lineup, all Breeze has done is make plays - game-altering plays. A backup safety for most of the year, Breeze earned his first start late in the season when Nick Pickett was held out of the opening half against Arizona due to a targeting call.

Brady Breeze could not have scripted a better final chapter of his junior season than the one he lived on Wednesday night in the Rose Bowl.
