Jason Palumbis, the Stanford quarterback, disappointed by three close losses, found luck finally playing on his side.

He was a Stanford quarterback from 1954 to 1956, and a quarterback with the San Francisco 49ers from 1957 to 1973.

"I thought it was hocus-pocus," said Kyle Matter, a Stanford quarterback.

Luck rushed for 453 yards, a record for Stanford quarterbacks, with three runs of over 50 yards.

Cardinal starter Chad Hutchinson (8-3), who is also the Stanford quarterback, went five-plus innings, allowing three runs on four hits.

(Coincidentally, Shaw was the younger brother of Tom Shaw, whom Kerkorian had replaced as starting Stanford quarterback in 1949.)

Frustrated From the Start "It doesn't take a genius to figure out that we weren't moving the ball," said Steve Stenstrom, the Stanford quarterback.

Husak threw for 6,564 yards and 41 touchdowns while at Stanford, ranking him fifth all-time for both passing and touchdowns among Stanford quarterbacks.

With the touchdown, Palmer passed the former Stanford quarterback Steve Stenstrom for a Pac-10 Conference career passing record.

The Stanford quarterback, Steve Smith, threw a school-record 68 passes, completing 39 for 282 yards.
