San Diego State Edges Washington State 26-20

Washington State is mired in a six-game skid with an offense that keeps failing to finish late drives.

Overview

San Diego State beat Washington State 26-20 at Snapdragon Stadium on Oct. 31, lifting the Aztecs to 4-5 while the Cougars fell to 1-8 and 0-5 in Pac-12 play.
Running back Javion Kinnard rushed for 87 yards and two touchdowns to anchor SDSU's ground game.
Kicker Cooper DiLeva provided a late lead with a 36-yard field goal and added a 45-yarder, and a trick play saw wide receiver Bert Emanuel Jr. throw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Jackson Ford.
Washington State quarterback Owen Eshelman completed 30-of-42 passes for 299 yards, rushed for 34 yards and two touchdowns, threw an interception, and the Cougars’ final drive ended on a fourth-down incompletion.
The game featured wet conditions, critical penalties and a weak WSU running attack that stalled key drives, leaving the Cougars with little time to repair a season that now turns to a Nov. 14 home game against Colorado State while SDSU hosts Utah State on Nov. 14.
