SEATTLE — Since taking on the rebuilding of Washington’s program, no loss seemed more disheartening to Steve Sarkisian than the beating provided by Stanford a year ago.

Sarkisian and his Huskies got their redemption Thursday night.

Kasen Williams took a quick screen pass from Keith Price, broke a tackle at the line of scrimmage and raced 35 yards for the go-ahead score with 4:53 left, and Washington rallied from 10 points down to stun No. 8 Stanford 17-13.

“That’s a win for our program,” Sarkisian said. “I thought all along that this was a unique group that we had; a resilient group, a very serious tough-minded group.”

Trailing 13-3 late in the third quarter, the Huskies (3-1, 1-0 Pac-12) got a 61-yard touchdown sprint from running back Bishop Sankey on fourth-and-1.
