Penix throws 4 TD passes and No. 5 Washington beats Stanford 42-33

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! So that’s our mindset.” A week after being held without an offensive touchdown in a win over Arizona State, the Huskies got their passing game going well enough to hold off the Cardinal and extend the second longest winning streak in the nation. But Rome Oduzne lost a fumble in the red zone with Washington in position to put it away in the fourth quarter and Penix threw an interception in the end zone after the Cardinal cut the deficit to two points on Justin Lamson’s 2-yard run. Ashton Daniels ran for two touchdowns and threw another to Elic Ayomanor but it wasn’t enough to prevent the Cardinal from losing their seventh straight home game. After getting outscored 50-0 in the first half of its last two games, Stanford finally broke through in the second quarter when Daniels scored on a 5-yard keeper to tie the game at 7.
