GAME RECAP

It looked like WSU would dominate this game from the begining as the Defense shutdown the Wildcats in the 1st Quarter with 2 INT including the "Pick 6" return by Kaufusi, but dropped passes a a huge fumble on the 4yd line by WR G. Simone led to a late KSU TD as they took the lead into the locker room.

Again the Cougar "D" would show up in the 2nd half picking off another pass and hold K-State out of the endzone until the big pass play. Even though the running attack was not working for WSU, they got enough production to take time off the clock and pull out the 1st Bowl win for Washington State since 2004 when they beat Texas in the Holiday Bowl.


POST GAME COMMENTS BY COACH DODGE

"This is a huge day for the school, our playes and the fans. I am really happy for all of them. Obviously this is a huge step in the right direction for where I am trying to take this program. Never in my dreams did I imagine we would make it to the Top-25 this year and win our Bowl Game"
