Stanford, CA (Sports Network) - Stepfan Taylor's 21-yard touchdown run in the
first overtime period lifted the 18th-ranked Stanford Cardinal over the
Arizona Wildcats, 54-48.
Stanford's defense came up big in overtime. On Arizona's fifth offensive play,
Matt Scott had his pass deflected at the line of scrimmage and Chase Thomas came
up with the interception. Taylor then found a hole up the middle and sprinted
21 yards into the end zone for the come-from-behind victory.
Taylor carried the ball 31 times for 142 yards and two scores for the Cardinal
(4-1, 2-1 Pac-12), who have won nine straight games in the month of October
dating back to Oct. 9, 2010.
Josh Nunes completed 21-of-34 passes for 360 yards and two touchdowns for
Stanford, which bounced back from a 17-13 loss to Washington on Sept. 27.
Nunes also carried the ball eight times for 33 yards and three scores.
