Stanford hangs on, stays alive in North
Bryce Love rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown despite missing most of the fourth quarter after aggravating an ankle injury, and No. 22 Stanford held off California 17-14 on Saturday to keep its Pac-12 title hopes alive.
K.J. Costello completed 17 of 26 passes for 185 yards and a touchdown, Ben Edwards made a key interception in the fourth quarter and Cameron Scarlett rushed for 49 yards on the final drive in place of Love to help the Cardinal (8-3, 7-2 Pac-12) milk the clock and win its eighth straight Big Game.
The Cardinal can get to the Pac-12 championship game if No. 14 Washington State loses to No. 18 Washington next week. If the Cougars — who beat Stanford 24-21 on Nov. 4 — beat the Huskies, they get the nod in the North division because of the tiebreaker.
The Golden Bears (5-6, 2-6) need a win in their final game to become bowl eligible in coach Justin Wilcox's first season.
at No. 18 Washington 33, Utah 30: Tristan Viscaino kicked a 38-yard field goal as time ran out to give the Huskies the victory. Washington (9-2, 6-2) had tied the score with 58 seconds to play on Myles’ Gaskin’s two-yard touchdown run. Jake Browning passed for 354 yards for the Huskies.
at Oregon 48, Arizona 28: Royce Freeman ran for four touchdowns and Oregon got a boost from the return of quarterback Justin Herbert, who had been out with a broken collarbone.
Freeman ran for 135 yards in 19 carries. His first scoring run of the game gave him the Oregon career record for rushing touchdowns.
Arizona quarterback Khalil Tate was held in check by Oregon's defense, passing for 159 yards and a touchdown while running for only 32 yards.
Arizona State 40, at Oregon State 24: Demario Richard ran for 116 yards and three scores, Manny Wilkins threw for 167 yards and two touchdowns and Kalen Ballage added 103 yards rushing for the Sun Devils (6-5, 5-3).
