Washington State offense surges in second half, defense puts clamps on Oregon State in 56-37 win

Washington State didn’t need to worry much about its offense Saturday night at Reser Stadium. In another prolific showing from their graduate transfer quarterback, the Cougars rode Gardner Minshew from start to finish, squeezing out five touchdowns and 430 yards from the fifth-year senior whose mustache has given him instant fame among WSU fans, and whose big arm and deceptive athleticism have given Mike Leach’s offense a potency it didn’t even have under Luke Falk.

Recap and highlights: Washington State pulls away in second half to cruise past Oregon State 56-37

The Cougars braved a few uneasy moments from the Oregon State Beavers and their highly-touted rookie running back Saturday night.
