Pac-12 Football: Stanford continues to rule out West
By Dana Becker
Whatever it is, the Huskies just continue to find ways to win, bettering Arizona State by seven points last week.
The loss of All-American tackle Trey Adams continues to hurt Washington, as Jake Browning spent much of the game with the Sun Devils scrambling. Browning, though, survived and has thrown for 966 yards with seven touchdowns this year.
Aaron Fuller is his top target, having hauled in 367 yards over 22 receptions, with Ty Jones averaging 20 yards per catch. Myles Gaskin has 357 yards rushing and Salvon Ahmed another 156.
The Huskies will step out of conference play to entertain BYU in a Top-20 matchup this weekend.
David Shaw did it again this past Saturday night, stunning Oregon and keeping the Cardinal not only in Pac-12 contention but College Football Playoff contention after four games.
Stanford is unbeaten and owns league wins over the Ducks and USC through two games. Now, they will test their mettle against fellow Top-10 Notre Dame in South Bend.
Surprisingly, it hasn’t been the Bryce Love show out west, as K.J. Costello is completing 64 percent of his throws with 10 touchdowns and over 1,000 yards. Love does have 281 yards from scrimmage and is averaging 4.3 per carry, but he has yet to get into a groove after an early-season injury.
JJ Arcega-Whiteside and Colby Parkinson continue to be a force at tight end, with Arcega-Whiteside having already caught seven touchdowns and Parkinson another three.
