Cougars Come From Behind

The Washington State Cougars were

favored however they had a difficult

task to do coming from behind on

the road.

The Cougars were favored but if

you have been a fan of theres for

some time they don't always do 

well in the fourth quarter. This year

they have done much better in that

area. 

The Cougars led by a small margin

in the first half then the SDState 

Aztecs had a touchdown in the

third and scored first in the fourth

not making it easy for the Cougars 

leading 26-14. Fortunately the

Cougars still had plenty of time

with much of the game to go.

The Cougars scored a touchdown

pass with 12:08 remaing to come 

within five pounts. With 5:03 Cougars

quarterback John Mateer ran in for

a two yard touchdown and a two point

conversion. The Aztecs couldn't score

again in a tight game and neither the

Cougars so final was WSU 29 SDState 26.

The Cougars are now 7-1 with four

remaining games. They are showing

to be a difficult team to play especially

down the stretch.  John Mateer right

now is coming down to being one of

the top Cougars quarterback to play.

Not only throwing the ball where he

was 19 for 27 for 257 yards and two

touchdowns he once again ran the 

ball leading the Cougars on 21 times

carrying. Although he had only 42 yards

Mateer had two touchdowns rushing.

A find it hard to watch these games 

that start at 7:30 pm and don't end

until late in the night. This makes it

impressive as well playing a game

like this on the road.

Next Saturday the Cougars are 

scheduled to play Utah State at

home. The time hasn't been

scheduled yet so let you know

on the preview of the game. Go Cougs!
