Cougars Force Five Takeaways, Beat Arizona State 34-21
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) Washington State was counted out when its head coach and four assistants were fired for refusing the state's vaccination mandate. No way could the Cougars recover from adversity like that.
They showed a bit of moxy in a loss to BYU last week and took it a step further against Arizona State behind an opportunistic defense.
Jayden de Laura accounted for three touchdowns and Washington State forced five turnovers in a 34-21 win over Arizona State on Saturday.
''''Ultimately, we know what we have in our building,'' Washington State edge rusher Ron Stone, Jr. said. ''We have what we need in our building to be successful, so there was never any doubt.''
