PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — Gardner Minshew threw three touchdown passes and ran for another score as Washington State beat San Jose State 31-0 on Saturday, in an emotional game that began with a brief tribute to deceased WSU quarterback Tyler Hilinski.
Tay Martin caught a pair of touchdown passes for Washington State (2-0), a five-touchdown favorite in the game. Minshew completed 34 of 51 passes for 414 yards.
Quarterback Montel Aaron led a Spartan offense that produced just over 100 total yards, compared to more than 500 yards for Washington State. San Jose State (0-2) was coming off a loss to a Football Championship Series team at home last week.
