SEATTLE (AP) — Wayne Taulapapa rushed for a career-high 120 yards and one touchdown, Washington’s defense sacked Stanford quarterback Tanner McKee eight times and forced two fumbles, and the 18th-ranked Huskies beat the Cardinal 40-22. Playing as a ranked team for the first time this season, Washington used a stingy defense and a handful of big plays on offense to win its Pac-12 opener under new coach Kalen DeBoer. Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. threw for 309 yards and second-half touchdowns of 30 yards to Rome Odunze and 21 yards to Giles Jackson on a screen pass. McKee threw for 201 yards and two touchdowns for Stanford, but the Cardinal have lost eight straight Pac-12 games.
