FG prunes Cards, Huakies smell Rosy

FG Prunes Cards, Huskies Smell Rosy By Gary Voet Bee Staff Writer PALO ALTO - A game-ending 26- yard field goal by Chuck Nelson lifted Washington to a 27-24 win over Stanford Saturday and gave the Huskies inside edge on the Pac-10 Rose Bowl bid. "I don't want to hear a thing about the Rose Bowl, said Don James, Husky coach after the win that put Washington 2-1 in conference play. "All I'm thinking about i is N-A-V-E-Y, or however you spell it." Washington plays Navy next week." Regardless of what James said he was thinking about, the last 1:27 of Saturday's game before 60,066 on The Farm will be hard to forget. Washington led 24-14 at the half, a half in which the Husky line pushed the Stanford defense all over the field. It was a half in which Stanford quarterback John Elway was only 7-15 (he was 0-for-4 at the outset) and intercepted twice. It was a half in which Washington scored the first four times it had the ball. That, coupled with Stanford's s second-half loss to UCLA last week when the Bruins scored the last four times they had the ball, made eight straight scoring drives against the Stanford defense. "We just weren't executing," said Paul Wiggin, Stanford head coach. "Our problem had nothing to do with the scheme plan. It was just a matter of people not going out and doing what they are supposed to do." In the third quarter, the Stanford defense did what it had to do. Washington was able to make only one first down. The Cardinals' offense, on the other hand, intercepted a pass and scored a touchdown. Washington quarterback Tom Flick, who had been near perfect in the first half with a 10-14 performance for 172 yards and two touchdowns, finally showed he was human with an interception in the third quarter. The pass, intended for Aaron Williams, was deflected by Cardinal Craig Zelmer, tipped by Williams and caught by Cardinal Tom Hall at the Husky 30. In three plays, Elway led the offense to a touchdown, a 13-yarder to Andre See STANFORD, Page AA2 Grid Marks Shattered In BYU Win LOGAN, Utah (UPI) - Jim McMahon set three NCAA records and tied two more Saturday - passing for six touchdowns and running for two more scores - in powering 20th-ranked Brigham Young to a wild 70-46 triumph over Utah State. McMahon's 342 yards passing in the first half and 358 yards in total offense set major college records for two quarters, breaking the 1977 marks established by former BYU quarterback Marc Wilson against Long Beach State. Wilson, now with the Oakland Raiders, passed for 326 yards and had 339 in total offense in the first half against Long Beach State three years ago. McMahon also set an NCAA mark for most yards in total offense in two consecutive games 939 yards against Wyoming last weekend and USU Saturday. USU's Tony Adams held the record See BYU, Page AA2
