Seattle, WA (Sports Network) - Kasen Williams' 35-yard touchdown catch in the
fourth quarter gave the Huskies the lead, and Washington held on for a 17-13
upset victory over the eighth-ranked Stanford Cardinal at CenturyLink Field.
One year after losing to Stanford by 44 points, and two weeks after the
Cardinal knocked off national title contender USC, Washington (3-1, 1-0
Pac-12) used a stifling defense to win its Pac-12 opener.
Stanford (3-1, 1-1), in its first road test, mustered just 10 first downs,
235 yards and did not score a touchdown on offense, ending the program's 11-
game winning streak in September.
Bishop Sankey ran for 144 yards on 20 carries, including a 61-yard score on
the last play of the third quarter that sparked Washington's stagnant offense.
Keith Price threw for 177 yards with a touchdown and an interception on 19-
of-37 throws for the Huskies, who snapped a four-game losing streaking against
their conference foe.
Stepfan Taylor, who amassed a career-high 213 yards from scrimmage against
USC, gained just 75 on 21 carries in the loss.
Josh Nunes completed just 18-of-37 passes for 170 yards and was intercepted
with Stanford driving for a potential go-ahead score.
