COLLEGE FOOTBALL : Washington Hands Stanford First Loss : Pac-10: In second start, Shehee rushes for 196 yards and three touchdowns.

Two weeks ago, Rashaan Shehee was on the bench. Now opponents can’t keep him out of the end zone.

Shehee, making his second collegiate start, ran for 196 yards and three touchdowns and Damon Huard threw for a career-high 295 yards as No. 24 Washington defeated No. 16 Stanford, 38-28, Saturday.

Shehee, a sophomore who became the starter when Leon Neal was sidelined because of a sprained toe, had scoring runs of seven, one and 80 yards among his 30 carries. He ran for 171 yards and two touchdowns in his first start last week against Notre Dame.

“He runs sideways, so it’s tough to get a good shot on him,” said Stanford defensive tackle Pete Swanson. “He follows his blockers real well. It’s really tough to bring him down.”

Huard, who moved into fourth place on the Huskies’ career passing list with 4,474 yards, had an 11-yard scoring pass to Ernie Conwell and ran two yards for another score. He was 20 for 30.

John Wales added a 36-yard field goal for Washington, 4-2 overall and 3-0 in the Pac-10.

“I couldn’t be more pleased with four quarters of offense and defense,” Washington Coach Jim Lambright said. “The time we were able to buy for Damon was excellent. Critical plays don’t work without protection, and all day long that was the case.”

Mark Butterfield had scoring passes of 16 yards to Andre Kirwan, three yards to Greg Clark and seven yards to Greg Comella for Stanford (4-1-1, 2-1), which lost for the first time under new Coach Tyrone Willingham.

Butterfield was 22 for 35 for 348 yards, with two interceptions. Eric Abrams had first-half field goals of 24 and 28 yards for Stanford.

“It really stings,” said linebacker Chris Draft, who led Stanford with 12 tackles. “I can handle getting beat, but not the way they did it. We didn’t play as hard as they did. We didn’t stop them, we really didn’t do anything.”

Abrams kicked a 24-yard field goal late in the first quarter, the only time Stanford has scored first in a game this season.

Shehee scored on a seven-yard run on the second play of the second quarter and Huard’s touchdown run five minutes later gave Washington a 14-3 lead, the first time this season Stanford has trailed by more than seven points.

The Huskies’ second scoring drive was set up by Ikaika Malloe’s interception, the first thrown by Butterfield in four games.

Abrams added his second field goal with 2:09 left before halftime.

Stanford tied the game, 14-14, midway through the third quarter on Kirwan’s scoring catch and a two-point conversion pass from Butterfield to Mark Harris. But Shehee dived over from the one three minutes later to give the Huskies the lead again, and Wales’ field goal made it 24-14.
