Stanford's starting cornerbacks won't play vs. Washington

No. 6 Stanford will face a tricky test on the road Friday night against No. 9 Washington, and the Cardinal will be without a couple of key defenders.

Cornerbacks Quenton Meeks and Alijah Holder will not play, coach David Shaw said, following injuries Saturday against UCLA.

In their place will be Alameen Murphy and Terrence Alexander, each making their first career starts.

Washington is led by QB Jake Browning, who has thrown for 904 yards and 14 touchdowns, second nationally.

Also out for Stanford will be receiver Francis Owusu, who suffered a concussion vs. UCLA.
