The Cougs move to 4-0 after a clutch field goal and just enough defensive stops
Following Washington State's victory in last week's Apple Cup rivalry, Friday night's matchup with San Jose State had the makings of a trap game for the Cougars. However, Jake Dickert's team were able to make they plays they needed, when they needed, and sneak past San Jose State in Pullman in a game that epitomized #Pac12AfterDark.
In the first half, things looked to be going well for WSU, offensively. Mateer engineered three long touchdown drives, plus another that ended in a 36-yard field goal by Dean Janikowski. The Spartans extended their lead to 38-24 to end the third quarter with a seven-play, 75-yard drive that ended in Floy Chalk's second rushing touchdown of the day.
Inside the final two minutes, the Spartans would mount a 72-yard touchdown drive to take the lead on touchdown pass from Brown to TreyShun Hurry with 26 seconds left and a successful two-point conversion.
