Gerhart rushes for 223 yards as Stanford upsets No. 8 Oregon

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Toby Gerhart (FSY) bowled over the Oregon defense to make the Cardinal bowl eligible for the first time in eight years.

Gerhart ran for a school-record 223 yards and three scores, Andrew Luck (FSY) threw for two touchdowns and Stanford held on to beat No. 8 Oregon 51-42 on Saturday for its all-important sixth win of the season.

The loss by Oregon (7-2, 5-1 Pac-10) just a week after beating Southern California 47-20 opened up the conference race and cost the Ducks any shot at a berth in the Bowl Championship Series title game.
