In probably one of the craziest College Football seasons in recent memory, the Stanford Cardinal won on the road for the second time in three weeks.

Jeremy Stewart scored from one-yard out, as the Cardinal came back to defeat the Arizona Wildcats 21-20 at Arizona Stadium.

Tavita Pritchard was once again the starting quarterback in place of T.C. Ostrander went 19-for-27 for 181 yards and a touchdown.

The only downfall for Pritchard was the fact that he threw two interceptions.

After the Stewart touchdown, the Wildcats had one final chance to get a chance for a possible game-winning field goal; however Anthony Johnson fumbled the ball and Will Powers was there to cover up the loose ball with 2:13 remaining in the game.

Jason Evans ran for 78 yards, as Anthony Kimble sat out the game with a shoulder injury that was suffered in the TCU game on October 13 at Stanford Stadium.

The Wildcats jumped out to a quick 10-0 lead, as Mike Thomas raced 21 yards to the end zone on a reverse.

Pritchard then got the Cardinal on the board in the second quarter, as he threw a 33-yard touchdown pass to Richard Sherman.

Following the Sherman touchdown reception, the Wildcats failed to gain a yard on first down that turned the ball over to the Cardinal.

The Cardinal took advantage of the Wildcats failing to get the first down, as Evans scored on a two-yard run with five seconds remaining.

By scoring the late touchdown, the Cardinal went into the locker room with a 14-10 lead.
