A pass interference, however, late in the second quarter turned the momentum for Arizona.
With Stanford driving deep in Arizona territory, sophomore cornerback Tacario Davis intercepted Cardinal QB Justin Lamson in the end zone and ran it out to the 25. However, he was flagged for defensive pass interference on the play. Bryce Farrell would run the ball in from the one on the next play to give Stanford the 10-7 advantage.
