The Washington State Cougars snapped a three-game losing streak and picked up their first Pac-12 victory in emphatic fashion, beating up on the Colorado Buffaloes in a soggy homecoming affair, 41-10.
WSU moved to 4-3 overall and 1-3 in the Pac-12, while Colorado dropped to 3-4 and 1-3.
The most noteworthy development of the game was the return of excellent play from the defense. Despite giving up a modicum of yards at various moments, WSU avoided the huge plays that had plagued them and held the Buffs to just 320 yards overall and took the ball away three times, as Colorado was never really in the game.
