PULLMAN, Wash. – Redshirt-sophomore quarterback John Mateer accounted for 329 total yards and five touchdowns, and the Washington State defense forced three turnovers, as the Cougars cruised to a 42-10 Homecoming victory against the University of Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors, Saturday at Gesa Field.

With the win, Washington State earned bowl eligibility improving its record to 6-1. Hawai'i dropped to 2-5.

"We want to be more aggressive," WSU Head Coach Jake Dickert said. "After playing San Jose State and that run and shoot, we just came away saying 'we got to go attack,' then we came away with three sacks and three takeaways and a lot of them are effort plays.
