Week 14: In the Pac-12 title game, a rematch of their October thriller, Washington again outlasted Oregon, this time 34-31. Odunze was kept out of the end zone but did catch eight passes in 12 targets for 102 yards. He had a long of 34 yards. — JH

Week 13: For the second straight week, Odunze caught seven of 11 targets, and for the third straight the talented wideout snagged two touchdowns as Washington edged Washington State, 24-21, in the 115th version of the Apple Cup. His first TD catch came on a 39-yarder as he got behind the Cougars secondary. His second, a 21-yard strike, came on the final play of the third quarter. But Odunze's biggest play came late. With the score tied, and his offense facing 4th-and-1 from its own 29-yard line, Odunze took a reverse for 23 yards that eventually led to Washington's game-winning field goal. — JH

Week 12: For the second straight week, Odunze caught two touchdowns, as Washington squeaked by Oregon State, 22-20. Targeted 11 times, the WR caught seven passes for 106 yards.

Week 7: The skilled Washington WR brought his talents to bear in the West Coast Game of the 21st Century. In Washington's showdown win over Oregon, Odunze was special, posting eight catches for 128 yards and two touchdowns.
