Washington State dominated Colorado State 20-3 on Saturday, with the Cougars' defense stifling the Rams throughout the contest. WSU quarterback Zevi Eckhaus led the offensive charge with 189 passing yards, including a 35-yard touchdown pass to Jeremiah Noga in the first quarter that gave Washington State an early 7-3 lead. The Cougars scored 10 points in both the first and second quarters before shutting out Colorado State completely in the second half.

Colorado State managed only a field goal in the opening quarter and was unable to generate sustained offensive momentum. Running back Jalen Dupree led the Rams with 68 rushing yards, but the offense couldn't overcome Washington State's defensive pressure. The Cougars' defense forced critical turnovers, including a fumble recovery by Caleb Francl in the second quarter after Justin Marshall's run. Receiver Trey Leckner caught nine passes for Washington State. The lopsided victory saw Washington State cover the 4.5-point spread, while the game finished under the 48.5-point total.
