Wildcats let one get away at Stanford
Do I have this right?
The quarterback engineers his team up and down the field for at least three quarters and then some. He connects to eight different receivers for a total of 45 receptions for 500 yards (actually 491) and throws three touchdown passes and sees to it that his team puts up 48 points on the board.
If that isn't enough, he hands off to his star running back who rushes 29 times for 132 yards, while catching seven key passes for 68 yards. And his team loses!
The Stanford Cardinal, with a little luck in overtime, win their homecoming game 54-48 despite all the above heroics from Arizona Wildcats' quarterback Matt Scott and running back Ka'Deem Carey.
Down two touchdowns with 6 1/2 minutes remaining in regulation, the 18th-ranked Cardinal found a way to beat the Wildcats by scoring three consecutive rushing touchdowns -- one of which was the game winner in overtime when Stephan Taylor scampered to the end zone from 21 yards out. The Wildcats fall to 3-3 on the season and 0-3 in the Pac-12 and let this one get away despite Scott coming within 19 yards of the school record, set back in 2007 when Willie Tuitama threw for 510 yards.
