Terry enters game, throws interception
Thanks to a taunting penalty after the Washington State touchdown, the Cougars were pushed back 15 yards on the kickoff. Connor Heyward returned the ball to the Spartans' 42. Madre London recorded his first carry and picked up seven yards on first down. He then rushed again for just a yard. On third-and-2, London picked up 10 yards and a first down to end the third quarter.
Hercules Mata'afa recorded his first sack of the game, dropping Brian Lewerke for a 5-yard loss. He would then leave the game in favor of Damion Terry.
