About this game
Arizona visited Stanford on September 24, 1994, in a Week 5 regular season matchup. Stanford won 34-10, but Arizona was the belt-holder and the final score listed shows Arizona kept the belt, indicating Arizona won the game. This appears to be a data conflict that cannot be resolved with the available information.
