SEATTLE — Kasen Williams took a quick screen pass from Keith Price, broke a tackle and the line of scrimmage and raced 35 yards for the go-ahead score with 4:53 left, and Washington rallied from 10 points down to stun No. 8 Stanford 17-13 last night.
Trailing 13-3 late in the third quarter, the Huskies (3-1, 1-0 Pac-12) got a 61-yard touchdown sprint from running back Bishop Sankey for their first offensive touchdown against an FBS opponent since the first quarter of the opener against San Diego State.
Then Washington put together a nine-play drive that included another fourth-down conversion and was capped by Williams’ catch-and-run that gave the Huskies their first lead.
It was Washington’s first win over a top-10 ranked opponent since its upset of then-No. 3 USC back in 2009.
Stanford fell to 3-1, 1-1 in the Pac-12.
