PASADENA, Calif. — There were smiles a mile wide. Eyes red with emotion. Even, wafting up from a couple corners of the Oregon locker room, jubilant puffs of cigar smoke.
All of that and more was on display Wednesday night at the Rose Bowl, as the Ducks celebrated a 28-27 victory over Wisconsin. Senior quarterback Justin Herbert capped a marvelous four-year run as Oregon's starter by rushing for three touchdowns, and Brady Breeze returned one of two fumbles he helped create for a touchdown as the Ducks finished their season 12-2.
