Washington State takes early 3-0 lead
Washington State started inside its own 10-yard line. A short run by Jamal Morrow and an intermediate completion from Tyler Hilinski to Kyle Sweet set up a third down. Hilinski then hooked up with Morrow out of the backfield for 13 yards and a toe-tapping catch on the sideline. James Williams and Hilinski then ran the ball over the next two plays for about 10 yards and another first down. The Cougars continued to move the ball into Michigan State territory thanks to another dump-down pass to Williams. A couple of incompletions by Hilinski forced a fourth-and-4.
