• In a series that dates to 1893, Stanford is tied with Washington, 41-41-4.
 
• The Cardinal has won nine of the past 11 games between the two schools. Prior to the loss in 2012 in Seattle, Stanford carried a four-game winning streak against the Huskies -- its longest since winning 10 in a row from 1967-76.
 
• Despite Stanford's recent success in the series, the Cardinal is just 11-22 (.333) against Washington dating to 1977, posting wins in 1982, 1994, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014 and 2015.
 
• There have been several lengthy streaks in the series. From 1959-1966, the Huskies won eight consecutive meetings; from 1983-1993, the Huskies won 10 straight; from 1995-2001, the Huskies won six straight. Stanford rattled off a 10-game winning streak from 1967-76. 
 
 
Last Matchup Against Washington - Oct. 24, 2015
• Christian McCaffrey caught a touchdown pass, ran for another score and gained 300 all-purpose yards in another sterling all-around performance to lead No. 10 Stanford to a 31-14 win over Washington. McCaffrey became the first Stanford player to top 100 yards receiving and rushing in the same game since Glyn Milburn did it in 1991 against Oregon State.
 
• The matchup between the Pac-12's top offense and top defense was one-sided from the start. Stanford took the opening kickoff and drove 62 yards in six plays for the score on Hogan's 21-yard pass to Austin Hooper.
 
• Kevin Hogan threw for 290 yards and two scores for the Cardinal. McCaffrey, who entered the game with an FBS-best 253 all-purpose yards per game, had a 50-yard touchdown catch and 7-yard scoring run in the third quarter. In all, he ran 23 times for 109 yards, caught five passes for a career-high 112 yards and added 79 yards on kick returns in his third 300-yard all-purpose game of the season.
 
• The Huskies were no match for the Cardinal, especially with starting quarterback Jake Browning watching after he appeared to hurt his right shoulder late in last week's loss to Oregon. Backup K.J. Carta-Samuels completed just 9 of 21 passes for 118 yards as Washington didn't even cross midfield until the third quarter.

1982 - John Elway completed 20-of-30 passes for 265 yards and Mike Dotterer rushed for 106 yards on 20 carries as Stanford upset second-ranked Washington at Stanford Stadium. The performance landed Elway on the front cover of the following week's edition of Sports Illustrated. 


1988 - Jon Volpe rushed for 220 yards on 29 carries to set a single-game rushing record that stood for over 20 years. 
 
1994 - Backup quarterback Scott Frost, who had started five games at free safety, came on in relief after Steve Stenstrom broke his finger in the second quarter. The sophomore engineered three second-half scoring drives, tacking on 88 rushing yards and a 10-yard touchdown run to upset No. 12 Washington at a rain-soaked Stanford Stadium, 46-28. 

2006 - T.C. Ostrander connected with Richard Sherman for a 74-yard touchdown pass and Bo McNally returned an interception 49 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter as Stanford defeated the Huskies, 20-3, snapping a 12-game losing streak to Washington.

2010 - Stanford limited Washington to 107 yards of total offense and seven first downs while blanking the Huskies in Seattle, 41-0. Stanford scored touchdowns on its first four possessions and its defense shut out the Huskies at home for the first time since 1976. 
 
2011 - Stanford took the ground route and buried the Huskies, 65-21, at Stanford Stadium. Stanford rushed for 446 yards to set a school single-game record. Stepfan Taylor rushed for 138 yards on 10 carries and Tyler Gaffney, running out of the Wildcat formation, gained 117 yards on nine attempts. It marked the first time Stanford had two 100-yard rushers since 2007. 
 
2012 - Washington receiver Kasen Williams took a quick screen pass 35 yards for the go-ahead score with 4:53 left as Washington rallied from a 10-point deficit to defeat Stanford at CenturyLink Field, 17-13.

2013 - Ty Montgomery had two big kickoff returns and a long touchdown reception, gaining 290 all-purpose yards, to put the Cardinal out in front early. But Stanford was in danger in the final minutes when the Huskies drew within three and had the ball. The Stanford defense held; however, it took a replay reversal after a Washington catch was ruled complete for a first down, to ensure the victory. On fourth-and-10, Keith Price's low sideline pass to a falling Kevin Smith at the Stanford 33-yard line with 1:16 remaining was overturned.
 
2014 - Kevin Hogan ran for a 5-yard touchdown with 4:29 remaining, and No. 16 Stanford used its stingy defense and a poorly timed fake punt by Washington to post a 20-13 win. Hogan was 17-for-26 passing for 178 yards and added 53 yards rushing. Ty Montgomery had a 62-yard kickoff return to start the game and also added a 17-yard touchdown reception, bulling through three Washington defenders to find paydirt.
