STORY: Brady Breeze's Physicality Earns him a Spot in Oregon's Secondary

After spending much of the first two months of the 2017 season on special teams, Oregon's redshirt freshman safety Brady Breeze is now getting some run on the defensive side of the ball. Playing alongside senior Tyree Robinson, Breeze brought the boom to Autzen Stadium on Saturday, delivering hard hits, including one of Utah quarterback Tyler Huntley, four tackles, and a pass break up. The safety is known for his physicality, which is something he's practiced since a young age. There is little that Breeze takes more pride in than the hushed reaction of a crowd after "laying the wood," as safeties coach Keith Heyward calls it. The Ducks will likely lean on Breeze to help stop the potent offense of No. 12 Washington on Saturday in Seattle. The full story is below.

STORY: Cam McCormick Emerging as Extension of Oregon Offensive Line

It seems year after year the Oregon Ducks have fielded a talented group of tight ends. The result has been several former players making appearance on NFL rosters, but also left the 2017 group with an underwhelming amount of experience. With Jacob Breeland as the lone player with any game experience, Oregon's tight ends were relative nobodies. Following a huge game against Utah that saw him grab his first touchdown catch and break several plays open in the ground game with his outside blocks, Cam McCormick has begun to emerge as another option in the Duck offense. Listen below to a full story on McCormick's development and impact in 2017. Cam McCormick Emerging as Extension of Oregon Offensive Line (by Alex Castle)… Read More
