The 1-0-1 Stanford Cardinal of coach Bill Walsh welcomed the 7th ranked, 2-0 Arizona Wildcats of coach Dick Tomey. Walsh wrote a book titled “Rough Magic” in which he said the Wildcats’ players were “mercenaries” since so few of them were from Arizona & after games you would like to “hose them down.” Walsh said he had been joking but the joke was on the Cardinal as Wildcats' All-Pac 10 RB Ontiwaun Carter rushed for 2 touchdowns while the Arizona defense held Stanford to just 6 yards rushing in a 34-10 victory to retain The Belt. Cardinal's WR Leroy Pruitt fumbled on a punt return at the Stanford 14-yard line & the Wildcats capitalized three plays later with Carter scoring from 10 yards for a 7-0 lead. Arizona’s next drive went 78 yards with QB Dan White connecting with WR Richard Dice on a 14-yard touchdown pass for the 14-0 lead through the 1st quarter. After blocking a Stanford field goal attempt, the Wildcats got a 3-yard touchdown run from Carter for a 21-0 lead with 11:18 left in the 1st half. A 31-yard field goal by Arizona's All-American PK Steve McLaughlin made it 24-0 before Stanford finally scored on a 3-yard touchdown pass from QB Steve Stenstrom to TE Tony Cline but the Cardinal still trailed 24-7 at the half. The Cardinal accounted for the only points of the 3rd quarter with a 42-yard field goal by PK Eric Abrams. McLaughlin hit on a 53-yard field goal before Arizona's All-American S Tony Bouie finished the scoring by returning a Stenstrom interception 49 yards for a touchdown. White finished with 200 yards passing with his touchdown. Stenstrom threw for 295 yards with a touchdown but 2 interceptionsas well as being sacked 7 times, WR Brian Manning had 7 catches for 131 yards but All-Pac 10 WR Justin Armour was held to 4 catches for 59 yards for Stanford. Arizona finished the season 8-4; ranked 20th nationally while the Cardinal finished 3-7-1 in Walsh’s final season. Stanford would play for The Belt again in 2004.
