WSU defeats Oregon State, 31-24, behind second half offensive explosion

The Washington State Cougars extended their win streak over the Oregon State Beavers to eight games on Saturday with a 31-24 win that featured a second-half explosion of points unlike anything we’ve seen from the team under Nick Rolovich.

WSU improved to 3-3 overall and 2-2 in the Pac-12 at the halfway point of the season, while the Oregon State Beavers — who had been surging — fall to 4-2 and 2-1.

Trailing 10-3 at the half, the Cougs had four possessions in the second half and scored touchdowns on all four of them behind an explosive passing attack that saw Jayden de Laura rack up 230 yards after the break on 15-of-18 passing, including 3 touchdowns and no interceptions.
