100 Points Scored - Vandals Lose By a Deuce!
Cougars Head Coach Ryan Higgins said on FoxSports-Washington that, "the Battle for Palouse is always tough without fail!" He was right. Idaho, who had looked poor in it's first weeks of action got out to an early start.
The story of the game was passing. All passing. Danny Morton was hot early in the first quarter. Which only saw Matt Kirk match the ferocity of touchdowns. At halftime, Vandals holding on to a 28-17 lead.
With neither team playing much defense, the 28-17 surely wouldn't remain that way for another two quarters.
The third quarter allowed Washington State to come into striking distance, but the hill to overcome the Vandal's was steep. With a fourth quarter 25 point run, the Washington State Cougars set one of the most historic comebacks in Rivalry and School History.
