Washington State Stifles Colorado State 20-3 as Eckhaus Leads, Defense Rebounds

The win signaled a defensive reset after two straight 59-point games.

Overview

  • Washington State improved to 3-2 with a 20-3 road victory, while Colorado State fell to 1-3.
  • WSU held an opponent without a touchdown on the road for the first time since 2006, yielding only a first-drive field goal.
  • Zevi Eckhaus went 16-for-28 for 189 yards with touchdown passes to Jeremiah Noga and Ademola Faleye, and Jack Stevens added two field goals.
  • Leo Pulalasi ripped off the Cougars’ longest run of the season at 45 yards to set up points and help establish the ground game.
  • It was the first road win for first-year coach Jimmy Rogers as CSU’s offense sputtered with predictable QB run looks, a missed and a blocked field goal, and Jackson Brousseau finishing 19-for-28 for 188 yards.
