Water Cooler Talk: Washington Upsets Stanford; Ravens 3-1

Water Cooler Talk- the least a sports fan needs to know to sound like you know what you’re talking about

Huskies Win

There is some strange magic in that Century Link Stadium as the Washington Huskies pulled the upset over No. 8 Stanford.

In its first road game Stanford only had 10 first downs, 235 yards and did not score an offensive touchdown.

The Huskies, who last year lost to Stanford by 44 points, came back in the third quarter with a 61-yard touchdown from running back Bishop Sankey- from fourth and 1.

This is also Washington’s first win over a top 10 ranked opponent since 2009 when the Huskies upset then No. 3 USC

Ravens Keep Flying High

In a game where most of the lead up was talking about the return of the regular refs, the Baltimore Ravens added another win.

Quarterback Joe Flacco threw 28 of 46 for 356 yards including a touchdown and ran for another. (Side note the Sports Gal Pal picked up Flacco in waivers for her fantasy team early in the season- very happy right now).

Baltimore defense also helped with a touchdown from an interception.

The poor Browns are now 0-4 for the season.
