Cameron Rising threw three touchdown passes, Taylon Thomas ran for 180 yards and two scores, and No. 13 Utah dominated Stanford in a 42-7 Pac-12 football win for the Utes at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City.

After Stanford (3-7 overall, 1-7 Pac-12) took a 7-0 first quarter lead on a 1-yard quarterback sneak by Tanner McKee, it was all Utah (8-2 overall, 6-1 Pac-12), which used a big third quarter to pull away for good.

A 9-yard touchdown pass from Rising to Devaughn Vele tied the game at 7-7 less than two minutes into the second quarter. At 6:49 of the second quarter, Thomas ran for a 4-yard TD, giving the Utes a 14-7 halftime lead. Thomas’ run was set up by a 28-yard, fourth down catch by Vele.

Utah scored three times within seven minutes in the third quarter to put the game away. Rising connected with Thomas Yassmin for a 14-yard touchdown at 9:21, and threw a 19-yard scoring pass to Micah Bernard at 5:58. Rising has 18 touchdown passes this season.

Nate Johnson, a freshman backup quarterback, completed a 16-yard TD pass to Logan Kendall with 2:20 left in the period. It was Johnson’s first career touchdown pass for Utah.

Thomas finished the scoring with 36-yard touchdown run at 9:28 of the fourth quarter.

Rising completed 20 of 33 passes for 219 yards. He was sacked once and threw an interception. Vele caught six passes for 61 yards, and Dalton Kincaid caught four passes for 35 yards.

McKee, who was sacked seven times, threw 23 passes, completing 11 for 155 yards. Mitch Leigber was the Cardinal’s top rusher, with 40 yards on 12 carries. Elijah Higgins caught seven passes for 105 yards.

Next Saturday, the Cardinal travel to Berkeley for the annual Big Game with California. Kickoff is at 3:30 p.m.

MILWAUKEE, Wisc.– The Stanford Cardinal (1-1) lost a basketball game to the Wisconsin Badgers (2-0) 60-50 on a baseball field on a cold night in the Midwest.

“I do think at the end of the day, we’re going to have a fantastic 3-point shooting team and we’ll be a very efficient offensive team,” Stanford coach Jerod Haase said. “Obviously that wasn’t the case tonight. Certainly Wisconsin gets some credit for how they defended us.”

Both teams were in an unusual position, playing basketball on a Major League Baseball (Milwaukee Brewers) park and on an infield.

The Badgers hail from Wisconsin’s state capital, Madison, nearly an hour West of Milwaukee, so the crowd was mostly in their favor. Standard’s locale in the Bay Area of California doesn’t preclude its alumni and fans from traveling thousands of miles to support their alma mater or team.

The first 20 minutes was indeed a battle, although the Badgers did get out to an advantage as large as 13 points late in the half.

The Cardinal shot an abysmal 0-8 from beyond the arc, while the Badgers converted three out 11 attempts. At the midway point, the nocturnal mammal is peeling the bark off of the tree from Palo Alto, and led by 12, 32-20.

The Badgers managed to hang on to the lead, although the Cardinal attempted to chip away their opponents advantage by cutting the lead to as low as five, However, the adjacent home team held on to be ahead by 10 at the final buzzer.

Wisconsin Badgers 60, Stanford Cardinal 50

The Cardinal was led in scoring by junior forward Brandon Angel with 14 points, and senior guard Michael Jones contributed nine points, four rebound and two blocks.

Jones also spoke about the ambiance, “It’s different playing in an arena like this, it feels like a tournament atmosphere.”

The Badgers were topped by senior forward Tyler Wahl’s 17 points and five rebounds, in addition to junior guard Jordan Davis chipping in 13 points.

Stanford will fly back west and host San Diego State at Maples Pavilion Tuesday, November 15, while Wisconsin hosts state rival Green Bay at the Kohl Center on the same date.

On the Stanford Cardinal podcast with Daniel:

#1 One thing for sure Daniel the UCLA Bruins (7-1) left very little doubt that coming off a loss to the Oregon Ducks the previous game didn’t shake their confidence as they had a mission and soundly defeated the Stanford Cardinal (3-5) last Saturday 38-13.

#2 UCLA running back Zack Charbonnet was all the rage on Saturday rushing for 198 yards and three touchdowns

#3 The Bruins 12th ranked came back from their previous and first loss of the season to Oregon and pretty much got some good defense to hold the Cardinal to only 13 points for the win.

#4 Cardinal quarterback Tanner McKee just couldn’t move the ball like he wanted to and was on the run for a lot of the game trying to find open receivers.

#5 The Washington State Cougars (4-4) come to Stanford after losing three straight games. The Cougars lost to the Utah Utes last Saturday 21-17. Daniel give your prediction how you see this match up this Saturday at Stanford Stadium a 12:30pm kick off.
