Pacific 10 Roundup : Last-Minute Fumble by Huskies Sets Up 16-13 Victory for Wildcats

Doug Pfaff kicked a 22-yard field goal with 5 seconds left Saturday to give Arizona a 16-13 victory over Washington in a Pacific 10 Conference game at Seattle.

The game-winning field goal was set up when Scott Geyer rushed in and caused Washington quarterback Cary Conklin to fumble as he was passing. Nose guard Dana Wells fell on the ball on the Washington 6 with 55 seconds left.

Arizona kicked the field goal after running down the clock with two quarterback sneaks up the middle by Ron Veal.

Pfaff, who kicked a 46-yard field goal with 43 seconds left in the first half, booted a 20-yard field goal with 5:25 left to tie the score, 13-13.

Arizona scored its only touchdown on a 1-yard run by fullback Alonzo Washington with 8:41 to play in the third quarter. The Wildcats, with Veal filling in for injured Bobby Watters, went 83 yards in 9 plays for their only touchdown.

Washington led, 10-3, at halftime and drove 68 yards in 9 plays to position John McCallum for a 23-yard field goal and a 13-3 Husky lead with 4:19 gone in the second half.

The Huskies scored their only touchdown on a 4-yard pass from Conklin to tight end Mark Kilpack in the first quarter. McCallum also kicked a 23-yard field goal in the second quarter.

Arizona ended a two-game losing streak and improved its overall record to 5-4 and conference mark to 3-3. Washington fell to 2-4 in the conference, 5-4 overall.

Arizona’s victories came after five Washington wins and a tie in the first six games of the series. The teams tied, 21-21, in Tucson last season.

Washington State 24, Stanford 21-- Timm Rosenbach threw for 322 yards and set a Cougar record for touchdown passes in single game at Palo Alto.

Stanford drove 69 yards to the Washington State 2-yard line in a bid to pull out the game, but Chris Moton intercepted Jason Palumbis’ pass in the end zone with 1:17 remaining to seal the victory.

Palumbis completed 18 of 30 passes for 239 yards and 2 touchdowns but threw 2 interceptions as Stanford fell to 3-5-1 overall and 1-4-1 in the Pac-10. The Cardinal has lost 4 games by 4 points or less.

Rosenbach completed 20 of 31 passes, including 5 to Tim Stallworth for 138 yards.

Rosenbach’s touchdown pass broke Jack Thompson’s 12-year-old record. The junior, who then hit Michael Wimberly for a two-point conversion and a 14-7 lead, has 21 scoring passes this season.

Washington State (6-3, 3-3) strengthened its bid for a second bowl game appearance in 58 years.

Arizona State 30, Oregon State 24-- David Winsley scored on a 61-yard run with 6:56 remaining as the Sun Devils used a 23-point fourth quarter to beat the Beavers at Tempe, Ariz.

The Beavers, who haven’t won here since 1969, led, 24-7, as Erik Wilhelm threw for two touchdowns and ran for another.

But Sun Devil senior quarterback Daniel Ford came off the bench to rally the Sun Devils to 3 touchdowns.

Arizona State is 6-3 overall and 3-2 in the Pac-10. Oregon State fell to 3-5-1 overall and 1-4-1 in conference play despite the effort of Wilhelm, who pushed his career yardage total over the 9,000 mark.
