Week 6: #13 WU 21 #1 Stanford 18

Stanford, California- It was the game of the week, a battle between the #13 Washington Huskies and the top ranked team in the country, the Stanford Cardinal. Stanford had home field advantage, and the Dawgs were looking to embarrass the Cardinal at their place.

The Huskies got the ball to start the game off, and drove down the field eating up the majority of the first quarter until finally scoring from 1 yard out with a run from Deontae Cooper. It didn't take long for the startled Cardinal to answer. On third and short, Anthony Wilkerson found a gap and scored on a 59-yard touchdown run. Later n the second after capitilizing on a Stanford fumble, Cooper Pelluer pulled in a short touchdown pass from Cyler Miles to put the Huskies ahead 14-7. Stanford responded by driving down, but then getting stuffed on the goal line being forced to kick a field goal making the score 14-10 going into halftime.

The third quarter was an offensive struggle until Washington's offensive captain Bishop Sankey scored from two yards out. Stanford had a huge play to help comeback with a 45-yard touchdown pass to Ty Montgomery, but it was too late. With only 1:27 left in the 4th, Stanford kicked an onside kick which was recovered by the Huskies who just ran the clock out.

Coach Schrod was asked before the game how he planned on beating the best team in the nation. Schrod replied with all confidence, "We are, the best team in the nation." It's hard to disagree after a performance like that.

This was the biggest win for Washington in years, and hope to carry the momentum and back-up coach Schrod's statements against Oregon next week.

Stanford looks to rebound next week against Utah.
