The first time the Washington State Cougars ran Y-Cross on Saturday against the Oregon Ducks, Dezmon Patmon moved the chains on the second play of the game. The last time the Cougs ran Y-Cross, Dezmon Patmon effectively ended it.
Deep in the fourth quarter — after four (mostly futile) second-half series — the Washington State offense looked to find the end zone and slam the door on a Duck comeback. Quarterback Gardner Minshew II emptied the backfield on first-and-10 from the Oregon 22-yard-line and delivered a perfect strike to his leaping receiver.
