Newspaper Page TextScott Barnett Emerald Washington and Marques Tuisasosopo aim to be the first Pac-10 team to beat Stanford. Game of the Week Stanford (5-2,5-0) at Washington (4-3,3-1) By Brett Williams Oregon Daily Emerald Talk about a Cinderella story. Prior to the season, Stanford was predicted to finish no higher than seventh in the Pacific-10 Conference. And the Cardinal was given lit tle respect early after losses to Texas and San Jose State. Now, with three Pac-10 games left, Stanford controls its own destiny in the Rose Bowl race. The Cardinal hasn’t played in Pasadena on New Year’s Day since 1972. “They are finding ways to win,” Oregon State head coach Dennis Erickson said. “They make plays on both sides of the football. They have a lot of char acter.” Erickson’s Beavers gave Stan ford one of its biggest conference challenges this season, a 21-17 Cardinal victory in Palo Alto, Calif. Washington head coach Rick Neuheisel said Stanford’s cohe siveness is a big reason for its success. For the Cardinal to halt the Huskies’ scoring attack, it-will need to keep the ball out of the hands of Marques Tuiasosopo, Washington’s versatile quarter back. Last weekend he led the Huskies to a 31-27 comeback win at California. The Huskies are av eraging 212 yards rushing in their last four games. Stanford’s offense has also been potent. Since returning from a rib injury two weeks ago, quarterback Todd Husak has been baffling defensive coordina tors with his play. The combination of Husak and flanker Troy Walters — owner of the Pac-10 record for career re ceiving yardage — is deadly. “Offensively, they have such big-play potential,” Neuheisal said. “When you get on a roll, players just find ways to make plays.” For Washington, stopping the Cardinal will be no small order. Washington 'is seventh in the conference in both pass defense and total defense. Because of Stanford’s long Rose Bowl drought, the hype in the Bay Area is not surprising. Even Stanford head coach Ty rone Willingham is smelling Ros es. “It’s difficult not to,” the fourth-year coach said. “At the beginning of the season, all teams have one goal, and as you progress, for some it becomes re ality. We’re in a position where we can’t help but think about it.” 007005 Got money?
