Key points
  • While the teams have met several times in the last few years, this will be the first meeting between WSU (1-8, 0-5 Pac-12) and CSU (3-6, 1-4) in Pullman since 2022.
  • The Rams are coming off a 64-38 loss to first-place Boise State, permitting a total of 669 yards to the Broncos' offense led by backup quarterback Max Cutforth.
  • "So it's disappointing." On the season, Colorado State has given up the following point totals: 13, 24, 41, 59, 56, 66, 49, 31, 64.

9—PULLMAN — Here is a first look at Washington State's home game against Colorado State on Saturday night.

Under first-year head coach Jim Mora and quarterback Hauss Hejny, Colorado State has lost six of its last seven games, in large part due to its defense.

Additional details
  • Coach Kirby Moore's team made things interesting in the fourth quarter, drawing within one score on a rushing touchdown by quarterback Owen Eshelman, but the visitors' comeback fizzled out with a turnover on downs later in the fourth frame.
  • WSU's perimeter tackling also led to several big SDSU plays, including two rushing touchdowns from tailback Javion Kinnard, who made WSU defensive backs Jamarey Smith and Khamari Terrell miss on his two scoring plays.
  • The week before, WSU fell in a 26-20 road loss to San Diego State, making the Cougars 0-5 on the road this fall.
  • Eshelman and the Cougs' offense looked OK, but that group again got next to nothing from its rushing attack, which netted only 68 yards and one touchdown — 34 yards from running backs.
  • The Rams' last win was a 56-49 victory over San Diego State in late October, but since then, they've dropped games to Utah State and Boise State.
