PULLMAN, Wash. — Washington State talked about starting fast against Arizona.

Mission accomplished.

The No. 25 Cougars jumped to a 24-0 lead in the first quarter and crushed Arizona 69-7 on Saturday for their seventh consecutive victory.

"Everything we touched worked," coach Mike Leach said.

Luke Falk threw for 311 yards and four touchdowns for Washington State (7-2, 6-0 Pac-12, No. 25 CFP), which had its highest points total since 1997 and the most ever against a Pac-12 opponent.

The Cougars hadn't won seven straight games since 2002.
