Play of the Week winner: Dwayne Stanford

With more than a third of the votes in this week's Pac-12 Blog Play of the Week vote, Oregon receiver Dwayne Stanford's 16-yard touchdown catch stole the show.

It's not really surprising considering how ridiculous of a play it was. Yes, it might not have been a game-winner like Devontae Booker's was, and he used both hands, unlike Cal receiver Chris Harper. But Stanford managed to jump, turn, go over two Husky defenders, spin some more and then come down with the TD to give the Ducks a 35-6 lead.

Not bad for his first touchdown against an FBS opponent.

"I told Marcus to put it up to where only I can catch it," Stanford told The Oregonian. "That's what we got to do. When we have the opportunity to make plays, we got to take advantage."

And did he ever. For that advantage and that play, Stanford gets the nod for the Week 8 winner for the Pac-12 Blog's Play of the Week.
