STANFORD, Calif. - Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey, who entered the weekend leading the nation in all-purpose yards, added 300 all-purpose yards on Saturday night to lead the No. 10 Cardinal to a 31-14 victory over Washington at Stanford Stadium.

Stanford (6-1, 5-0 Pac-12) has won six straight, and is the only Pac-12 team unbeaten in conference play.

Washington (3-4, 1-3) entered the game leading the Pac-12 in total defense and scoring defense, but Stanford rolled up 478 yards of offense and became the first team this season to score more than 30 points against the Huskies.

McCaffrey, who ran for a school-record 243 yards in the Cardinal's Oct. 15 victory over UCLA, had 109 yards rushing on Saturday, his fifth straight game of 100 yards or more. He also had his fifth straight game of more than 200 all-purpose yards, with 112 of his yards on Saturday coming on five receptions.

Stanford quarterback Kevin Hogan was 17-for-24 for 290 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

Washington was limited offensively because of the absence of starting quarterback Jake Browning, who had started the Huskies' first six games but missed Saturday's game with a shoulder injury.

Redshirt freshman K.J. Carta-Samuels, who had attempted three passes and completed only one before Saturday, was the Huskies' starting quarterback against Stanford, and he struggled early in the game.

He was 3-of-10 passing for 17 yards in the first half, and finished 9-of-21 for 118 yards and no scores and no interceptions.

Huskies running back Myles Gaskin had 108 yards rushing, becoming the first Washington true freshman to have three consecutive games of more than 100 yards on the ground.

Washington cut a 17-0 halftime deficit to 17-7 on its first possession of the second half. Gaskins carried the ball on all five plays of the 57-yard drive, including a 14-yard touchdown run.

Stanford regained its 17-point lead on Hogan's 50-yard touchdown pass to McCaffrey, and a 7-yard McCaffrey scoring run increased the Cardinal's lead to 31-7.

Carta-Samuels ran 7 yards for a touchdown early in the fourth quarter to make it 31-14.

The Cardinal dominated the first half, which ended with Stanford holding a 17-0 lead.

Stanford outgained Washington 241-58 over the first two quarters and had 14 first downs compared with just two for the Huskies.

The Cardinal took the opening kickoff and marched 62 yards on six plays for a touchdown. Hogan's 21-yard pass to tight end Austin Hooper completed the drive and gave the Cardinal a 7-0 lead.

Stanford increased the margin to 14-0 early in the second quarter on a 15-play, 90-yard drive that took 8:11 off the clock and ended with running back Remound Wright's 1-yard touchdown run.

A 28-yard field goal by Conrad Ukropina on the final play of the first half put Stanford ahead 17-0.
