The Fresno State Bulldogs defeated the Washington State Cougars in the 2022 Jimmy Kimmel Los Angeles Bowl 29-6.
WSU (7-6) never got the offense rolling and Fresno State (10-4) took advantage of the weakened Cougar front seven with a dominant running game. Bulldogs’ running back Jordan Mims gashed the Cougars for 205 rushing yards on 18 carries.
The Cougars knew they’d be without three starting linebackers defensively before the week, but didn’t know they’d be without safety Sam Lockett and cornerback Chau Smith-Wade until hours prior to kickoff. Making it five of 11 starters out on defense for the Cougars.
