STANFORD – Michael Penix Jr. is on pace to be a Heisman Trophy finalist and Washington is in the mix for a College Football Playoff berth. But with three minutes left in Saturday night’s game at Stanford, Ashton Daniels had matched Penix’s output and the Cardinal had the Huskies on the ropes.The Cardinal ultimately couldn’t complete a trick play that would have set up a go-ahead field goal. In the end, the Cardinal lost 42-33, but the performance against a top-five team showcased what Stanford is capable of and provided hope for future seasons.“Even though we lost the game, which is unfortunate, there are a lot of positives we can grow and learn from,” fifth-year senior cornerback Zahran Manley said. “That’s really what we’re trying to do. Just set the foundation for this team for the years to come with the new regime that Coach Taylor is setting forth.”Penix completed 21 of 38 passes (55% for 369 yards and four TDs, with one interception.
