Washington State avenges earlier loss to Oregon State, wins 32-8 to clinch bowl
eligibility
PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) --- Zevi Eckhaus accounted for two touchdowns, and
Washington State clinched bowl eligibility in coach Jimmy Rogers' inaugural
season with a 32-8 victory over Oregon State on Saturday night in a rare
regular-season rematch for the only members of the Pac-12 Conference.
Oregon State beat Washington State 10-7 at home on Nov. 1. The Cougars won both
games in 1945 the last time the teams played twice in the same year.
Eckhaus completed 17 of 28 passes for 197 yards and added 63 yards rushing on
nine carries. He tossed a 1-yard touchdown pass to Trey Leckner late in the
second quarter to give the Cougars a 19-0 lead. Eckhaus' 5-yard TD run made it
25-0 with 4:51 remaining in the third.
Kirby Vorhees and Angel Johnson each had a short touchdown run for Washington
State (6-6, 1-1). Tony Freeman had seven receptions for 84 yards.
Tristan Ti'a was 28-of-41 passing for 240 yards. He threw a 12-yard touchdown
pass to Trent Walker late in the game and had two interceptions for Oregon
State (2-10, 1-1). The Beavers ended their season losing three straight after
beating the Cougars.
Oregon State, which announced on Friday its next head coach will be Alabama
co-offensive coordinator JaMarcus Shephard, along with Washington State, are
part of a realigned Pac-12 Conference next season that includes Texas State and
five current members of the Mountain West Conference.
Rogers coached the previous two seasons at South Dakota State highlighted by a
FCS National Championship in 2023.
Washington State will make its ninth bowl appearance in the last 10 seasons and
20th overall.
