PACIFIC 10 ROUNDUP : Washington Makes Most of Oregon’s Mistakes

Washington intercepted four of Bill Musgrave’s passes and recovered three fumbles in defeating Oregon, 20-14, in a sloppily played Pacific 10 Conference game Saturday at Seattle.

The Huskies took the lead for good in the third quarter on a one-yard touchdown run by quarterback Cary Conklin.

The Huskies, 3-3 overall and 1-2 in the conference, avoided losing their fourth consecutive game, which would have been most losses in a row in Coach Don James’ 15 seasons in Seattle. The three defeats were the most by a Washington team since 1976. Washington beat Oregon for the first time in three seasons.

Washington recorded three of its seven turnovers in the fourth quarter, including a fumble that stopped a last-ditch Oregon drive on the Huskies’ 40 with 1:38 left.

Oregon is now 3-3 and 2-3.

Washington State 31, Stanford 13--Steve Broussard broke off tackle and ran 71 yards for the Cougars’ first touchdown early in the second quarter and scored again on a five-yard run later in the same period to lead No. 17 Washington State to a win at Pullman, Wash.

The Cougars (6-1 and 3-1) fumbled the ball away on their first two possessions, but scored four touchdowns in the second quarter.

Stanford (1-5 and 1-3) led, 10-7, after scoring its only touchdown when Tom Vardell recovered a fumble in the end zone.

But Aaron Garcia, who completed 23 of 41 passes for 341 yards and two touchdowns, hit tight end Doug Wellsandt with a 12-yard scoring pass and then capped a 93-yard drive with a 24-yard touchdown pass to C.J. Davis seven seconds before halftime and Washington State was on its way.

Arizona St. 17, Oregon St. 17--Paul Justin of Arizona State threw for a pair of second-half touchdowns and Oregon State’s Pat Chaffey ran for two scores as the two teams battled to a standoff at Corvallis, Ore.

Troy Bussanich of Oregon State missed a 55-yard field-goal attempt as the game ended.

Oregon State is 2-3-1 and 1-1-1.
