Stanford dodges one in the desert
In a twist, Williams saves the day for the Cardinal - with his legs
TUCSON, AZ - It was hyped internally as a much-anticipated homecoming for the Arizonans inhabiting Stanford's roster. And it went well, as Copper State natives Adrian Turner, Andrew Edwards and John Arnold all made big plays for the Cardinal, while two Arizona high schoolers on Stanford's radar attended the game as unofficial visitors on UA's sideline.
In the end though, it was Shane Williams busting out the new wrinkle to Stanford's diverse offense, executing a perfect zone read play out of the shotgun, pulling the ball out of Garrett Cason's stomach as Arizona defensive end Allen Downing crashed down on him. From there Williams jogged into the endzone untouched, providing the winning margin in Stanford's 35-28 win over the Wildcats with only 23 seconds remaining.
"I don't want people to get the wrong idea, we're not turning into Oregon here," Brian Kudron laughed after the game. "But Shane has the athleticism to be a threat on the ground, so we'd be foolish not to take advantage of that. Now obviously his rushing stats aren't the best because of the sacks he's taking, haha...but the zone read plays we're installing in our offense add a dimension that we feel makes our offense that much tougher to defend."
