The Washington State Cougars lost to Air Force Friday night in the Cheez-It Bowl. I guess you could use a lot of puns here if you wanted to.
The final was Air Force 31 WSU 21. I thought it would be a lot higher score game than it turned out.
Neither team scored in the first quarter. Air Force led 17-14 at half-time. The Cougars were shut out in the 3rd quarter as well where Air Force scored one touchdown. In the 4th quarter, each team had a touchdown.
Washington State did primarily passed the ball quarterback Anthony Gordon threw the ball 42 times with 28 completions for 351 yards and three touchdowns. Not bad depending on who you are playing. The Cougars, unfortunately, ran the ball six times for 27 yards.
Air Force was able to keep the ball out of the hands of the Cougars by running the ball a lot and successful. They had two running backs get over 100 yards. Kadin Remsburg ran the ball 26 times for 178 yards and Taven Birdow had 108 yards on 20 carries. Both players had a touchdown each.
Air Force quarterback Donald Hammond threw the ball only 12 times however he ran 15 times for 62 yards and scored two touchdowns.
This was Cougar's quarterback Anthony Gordon last game as he is a senior. We will see who competes for quarterback next season in the spring.
