🔼 Potato Power. With new head coach Kirby Moore in attendance, the WSU football team put on quite a show in front of the new leader.

Zevi Eckhaus threw for a season-high 334 yards with three touchdowns and the Cougs piled up 628 yards of offense, beating Utah State 34-21 to win the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl on Monday at Albertsons Stadium in Boise.

Maxwell Woods carried nine times for 117 yards, becoming the first Cougar to top 100 this season.

It was the Cougars' first postseason victory since beating Iowa State 28-26 in the 2018 Alamo Bowl.

Cougs Fans, we’re excited to share an exclusive offer for the WSU community.

🔼 And Another One. For the second time this season, WSU men’s hoop standout Ace Glass was named the West Coast Conference Freshman of the Week.

Glass earned the recognition after delivering back-to-back double-digit games, including a team-high 24 points in the nonconference finale against Mercer.
 
He has scored in double figures nine times in 11 games and is leading the Cougars with 15.9 points per game, eighth in the West Coast Conference overall and the best scoring average of any freshman in the League. Glass ranks 12th nationally in freshman scoring.
