Last week we saw No.7 Oregon upset USC and basically bashing their BCS title hopes and no Pac-10 title this year. Oregon became the number one team in the Pac-10 but once again, the standings change just after one week.
Stanford did what Oregon had done to USC last week. UPSET. Running back Toby Gerhart ran for a school record 223 rushing yards with 3 TD's against a defense who held all of USC running backs to a total of 140 rushing yards! Freshman QB Andrew Luck didn't need much luck because his true freshmen skills were exposed. Luck went for 251 yards, 2 touchdowns in 12/20 passing. Standford pulled off the 51-42 victory.
With the win, Stanford becomes bowl-eligible for the first time in eight years. The win over Oregon could be a bigger win than the one of two years ago when Stanford SHOCKED No.2 USC in the Coliseum.
Now with the lost that Oregon suffered, it takes them out of title contention and the margin of the Pac-10 title just got smaller.
Note: Iowa's undefeated streak came to an end last night when Northwestern won 17-10. The Hawkeyes 'Captain Comeback' QB Ricky Stanzi, suffered an ankle injury and was out for the rest of the game.
Only unbeaten teams left are Florida, Alabama, Texas, Boise State, TCU and Cincinnati .
Other news: No.22 Notre Dame had no luck of the Irish last night when Navy took them down for the 2nd straight win in Notre Dame Stadium 23-21.
