• For the first time in a while against a FBS team Washington State heads into the locker room in the game, tied at 14. In fact, the last time it led was 21-20 in the 2007 Apple Cup game. The Cougars have run the ball well, moved it through the air when needed and made one big special teams play. The Kyle McCartney muffed punt recovery in the end zone allowed the Cougars to head into the locker room tied and on a high. The play was a strange one because Jamal Atofau hit punt returner Darius Johnson early, so Johnson couldn’t catch the Reid Forrest punt. A flag was thrown.
