By the time WSU’s offense looked like it was getting started, it was too late.
It took the No. 23 Washington State Cougars almost 24 minutes of game time before they found the end zone in their 45-17 loss in the Apple Cup to No. 6 Washington on Friday. They had opportunities before that 1-yard Jamal Morrow touchdown run in the middle of the second quarter, too, but needed five drives before finally getting more than three points. And by that point, the Huskies had already built a 25-point advantage.
“We came close early in the game to doing some good things until we let them off the hook,” WSU coach Mike Leach said.
