WSU quarterbacks throw for more than 600 yards, but four interceptions take their toll
TUCSON, Ariz. — Turns out, fast-rising Arizona quarterback Khalil Tate wasn’t Washington State’s only problem Saturday.
The Cougars also could hardly stop the big plays of his teammates, too.
In WSU’s 58-37 defeat against the Wildcats before 42,822 spectators at Arizona Stadium, Arizona ripped off four scoring plays of 48 yards or more — including an 82-yard run from Tate and a late 68-yard pass play from Tate to Jamie Nunley that set up another touchdown.
And offensively, where the Cougars struggled at times with both Luke Falk and Tyler Hilinski at quarterback, WSU also gave up a 66-yard pick-six in the fourth quarter when Arizona linebacker Colin Schooler picked off Hilinski over the middle and raced into the end zone.
