THOUSAND OAKS, Calif – The last time linebacker Samson Ebukam, quarterback Gage Gubrud and the Washington State Cougars were on the same field, the former Eastern Washington stalwarts helped spearhead a 45-42 upset in Pullman.
Ebukam, now one of the Los Angeles Rams’ primary pass rushers, applied constant pressure on then-WSU quarterback Luke Falk in the 2016 game, totaling two sacks and six tackles.
Gubrud carved up the Cougars’ defense in his first college start, racking up 474 passing yards and five touchdowns as well as 77 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground.
EWU went on to the FCS semifinals.
