GAME RECAP
Chris Jackson caught a pair of long bombs from Ryan Leaf and
number 11 Washington State got the help it needed from UCLA to
secure its first trip to the Rose Bowl in 67 year with a 41-35
victory over 20th-ranked and archrival Washington.
Michael Black ran for 170 yards and a touchdown for Washington
State (10-1, 7-1 Pac-10), which will finish no worse than tied
with UCLA atop the Pac-10 Conference standings. UCLA, which
lost to the Cougars 37-34 in the first week of the season, also
finished 7-1 in the Pac-10 after a 31-24 victory over USC.
Even if Arizona State defeats Arizona next weekend to move into
a first-place tie, Washington State will go to the Rose Bowl
because it wins the three-way tie-breaker, awarded to the school
that has the longest Rose Bowl drought. Arizona State went last
year and UCLA went in 1994.
The Cougars' lone blemish in the Pac-10 came to Arizona State,
44-31, back on November 1st.
Washington State will play Michigan, which is expected to be the
top-ranked team in both polls after its win against Ohio State
and Florida State's loss at Florida.
"I don't know what I'm feeling," said Cougars head coach Mike
Price. "I've never felt this before. How are you supposed to
act? We don't know. This football team will be remembered for
100 years. Every guy that played or wore a jersey believes in
this football team. Everyone that's ever played is going to
remember this team and everyone that ever plays will remember
this team."
The Cougars lost to Alabama in the 1931 Rose Bowl, 24-0, and
defeated Brown in the 1916 game, 14-0.
Leaf, a candidate for the Heisman Trophy, completed 22-of-38
passes for 358 yards for the Cougars and set the single-season
conference record for yardage with 3,647, bettering the mark of
Steve Stenstrom, who threw for 3,627 yards for Stanford in 1993.
"We're going down there because we're mad because we're going to
the Rose Bowl," said Leaf. "We won the Apple Cup, we're 10-1,
we're going to the Rose Bowl, so I would hope that some
confidence follows that a little bit."
Jackson, who caught TD passes of 57 and 51 yards, finished with
eight catches for 185 yards. Washington State amassed 520 yards
of total offense as it took home the Apple Cup for the first
time since 1994 and won at Washington for the first time since a
21-20 victory in 1985. Coach Mike Price improved to 3-6
all-time against the Huskies.
Washington (7-4, 5-3) still holds a 57-27-6 edge in the all-time
rivalry. Brock Huard completed 18-of-36 passes for 283 yards and
four touchdowns, but also threw five interceptions. He had
thrown five all season heading into the game.
"Turnovers will kill you," said Huskies coach Jim Lambright.
"A couple of his interceptions were those where he was hit as he
released the ball, so he had a lame duck thrown up."
"I'm proud of my football team," Lambright continued. "I think
they competed hard right down to the end. We're a pretty sad
football team right now. They made the plays they needed to
win. We made mistakes and they took advantage of it."
The Huskies had the only points of the first quarter as Huard
hooked up with Jerome Pathon on a 15-yard scoring play. But
Washington State responded with 17 second-quarter points.
Black bulled in from eight yards to tie the game with 12:53 left
in the half. Leaf cashed an interception by defensive back Ray
Jackson into seven points when he hooked up with Chris Jackson
on a 57-yard TD pass down the left sideline. Chris Jackson
bowled over Husky safety Tony Parish en route to the end zone.
Rian Lindell extended the lead to 17-7 with a 20-yard field goal
12 seconds before halftime. The Cougars threatened to make the
game a blowout when offensive lineman Rob Rainville recovered a
fumble by Black in the end zone for a 24-7 lead with 9:47 left
in the third quarter, but Washington struck for two touchdowns
in a 2:53 span.
Huard found Fred Coleman for a 38-yard scoring strike to make it
24-14. On the ensuing possession, Parrish, playing deep in the
secondary, intercepted a pass and raced 32 yards for a score to
pull the Huskies within 24-21 with 6:04 left in the third
quarter.
The Cougars retained their poise. Leaf completed an 18-yard
pass to Kevin McKenzie on a 3rd-and-9 to the Washington State
39. After moving the ball to its own 49, Leaf and Chris Jackson
worked the right sideline, as Jackson beat Mel Miller and raced
to the end zone for a 31-21 lead with 3:58 remaining.
Undeterred, the Huskies answered again as Huard found Mike Reed
on a swing pass for an 18-yard catch-and-run score. Reed ran
over Cougar defensive back Ray Jackson en route to the end zone.
The Huskies defense could not come up with a stop. Leaf led his
team back down the field and recovered another fumble by Black
in the end zone to restore the 10-point lead with 13:14 left.
The Washington State defense tightened, and Lindell extended the
lead to 41-28 with a 29-yard field goal with 4:12 to play.
"We've been doing that all year, haven't we?" said Leaf about
taking over a game. "It was nothing different. That was just
what we had to do."
Washington completed the scoring when Huard and Pathon combined
on a 32-yard scoring play with nine seconds left. Nick Lentz
attempted an onside kick, but wide reciever Shawn McWashington
clinched the trip to Pasadena by falling on the ball.
