PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — Quarterback John Mateer rushed for 197 yards and one touchdown, Wayshawn Parker burst 43 yards for a TD as part of a 14-point blitz in 16 seconds in the second quarter, and Washington State raced past Texas Tech 37-16 on Saturday night.
Djouvensky Schlenbaker added a pair of short TD runs as the Cougars (2-0) dominated their highest-profile opponent to visit Pullman during this season of transition for Washington State. Texas Tech (1-1) was one of two Power Four opponents on the Cougars schedule.
Mateer added one TD pass, but it was his legs that made the difference and he set a school record for yards rushing by a quarterback.
