WSU Cougars Beat Oregon State Beavers

The Washington State Cougars on Saturday
afternoon beat the Oregon State Beavers in
Pullman 31-24.

The Beavers actually led the game at half-time
10-3. The Cougars scored two touchdowns in
the third and fourth quarters while the Beavers
scored one touchdown in each quarter.

The Cougars have had trouble keeping leads
in the second half so sort of nice to see they
did a reverse coming behind for a change.
The Cougars are now 2-2 in conference and
overall record of 3-3. It was the second straight
win as the Cougars had beaten the California
Golden Bears the week before 21-6. The 
Cougars played and beat both teams after they
had played the Washington Huskies. Gold 
Bears lost to Washington in a close game 
while the Beavers beat Washington last week.
It was a close game as well as the Huskies
made a poor decision to go for it on fourth
and one in the fourth quarter in their own
territory. The Beavers were able to stop them
and take the ball down to score to beat the
Huskies on a last second field goal.

The Beavers are still at the top of the north
division of the Pac-12 with 2-1 record. The
Cougars take on Stanford at home next 
Saturday afternoon. Stanford has the same
identical record as the Cougars. 

The Washington Huskies and the Oregon 
Ducks both had this weekend off. Next Friday
the Ducks will play California while the 
Huskies will take on UCLA early evening
on Saturday. Both teams have 1-1 records
in the Pac-12. The Huskies are hoping the
week off will help improve their play on 
the field.

The Cougars did as they normally do threw
the ball for 399 yards while rushing for 92
yards while the Beavers did the opposite
throwing for 158 yards and rushing for 
309 yards. Both teams had almost the
same time of possession where the Cougars
had the ball just over a minute and a half
more than the Beavers. We wish both teams
success the rest of the way except the
Cougars when they face the Huskies in the
Apple Cup.
