The Washington State Cougars had a big win over the Northern Colorado Bears on Saturday night. Led by quarterback Anthony Ward, the Cougars put up a solid performance to secure the victory.
Ward was a major factor in the win, throwing for a career-high of four touchdowns and no interceptions. He was able to spread the ball around to his receivers, finding eight different targets throughout the game. His accuracy and decision-making were key in helping the Cougars pull away from the Bears.
The Cougars defense also played a big role in the win, holding Northern Colorado to just seven points. The defensive line was able to pressure the Bears’ quarterbacks all night, forcing them into several mistakes. The secondary was also able to limit the Bears’ passing attack, allowing just one touchdown pass.
The Cougars offense was able to take advantage of these mistakes, scoring four touchdowns in the second half. Ward was able to find his receivers downfield for big plays, while the running game was able to grind out yards when needed. The offensive line also did a great job of protecting Ward, giving him time to make plays.
The win was a big one for the Cougars, as they improved to 6-2 on the season. With Ward leading the way, the Cougars look poised to make a run at the Pac-12 title. If they can continue to play at this level, they could be a force to be reckoned with in the conference.
