Stanford stunned in Seattle
In one of the more anemic offensive showings in recent Stanford history, the Cardinal was upset 17-13 by Washington on Thursday night.
Stanford didn't score an offensive touchdown in the defeat, only mustering a pair of Jordan Williamson field goals and a pick-six by Trent Murphy. The end result was Stanford suffering its first Pac-12 loss to a team other than Oregon since 2009.
