Utah 27, No. 5 Stanford 21: Dres Anderson scored two touchdowns while Travis Wilson passed for a pair as the host Utes held on to stun the Cardinal while snapping their 13-game winning streak.
Bubba Poole rushed for 111 yards for Utah (4-2, 1-2 Pac-12 South), which forced Stanford to turn the ball over on downs at the Utes' 6-yard line with 47 seconds left. Wilson, who threw six interceptions in his last game - a 34-27 loss to UCLA on Oct. 3 - was 23-of-34 for 234 yards with one pick against Stanford.
Ty Montgomery returned a kickoff for a touchdown for the second straight week and had a career-high 131 receiving yards while Tyler Gaffney rushed for 108 yards and a score for the Cardinal (5-1, 3-1 Pac-12 North). Kevin Hogan was 15-of-27 for 246 yards in losing for the first time in 11 career starts.

Stanford got to within six on Devon Cajuste's 7-yard touchdown catch with 9:22 left and marched deep into Utah territory in the final minute, but Hogan's fourth-and-two pass into the end zone sailed over the head of Ryan Hewitt.
