HOUSTON (AP) After No. 20 Washington State struggled to get going early on Friday night against Houston before pulling away in the second half for a win, coach Mike Leach lamented that his team didn't have more time to play.
''I almost wish we had a fifth quarter because I thought we had more work to do and we could have grown a little bit more,'' he said. ''I thought we were playing our best football at the end.''
Anthony Gordon threw for 440 yards and three touchdowns for his third straight 400-yard game as Washington State got the 31-24 victory.
