First Quarter


The opening quarter set the tone for the game as Washington State quickly established dominance. Quarterback Zevi Eckhaus showcased his precision passing skills by completing a series of successful throws, including a remarkable 35-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jeremiah Noga. This early strike gave Wazzu a significant advantage and put pressure on the Rams' defense.


Second Quarter


In the second quarter, Eckhaus continued his impressive performance with another touchdown pass, this time connecting with tight end Ademola Faleye for a short yet effective play in the red zone. The Cougars' offense was complemented by their solid defensive efforts; Soni Finau led with two sacks that disrupted Colorado State's offensive rhythm and limited their scoring opportunities.


Third Quarter


As both teams returned from halftime, neither managed to add points to their tally during a scoreless third quarter. However, Washington State's defense remained relentless in applying pressure on Colorado State’s quarterback Tommy Poholsky. Raam Stevenson contributed significantly with one sack and several key tackles that kept CSU from gaining any momentum.


Fourth Quarter


The final period saw no change in score as both defenses held firm against any advances made by either side’s offense. Despite not adding further points themselves during this time frame due largely due penalties incurred earlier which hindered progress downfield - notably those committed by Kenny Worthy III - it was clear that WSU had already secured victory through previous quarters’ efforts alone thanks largely again towards contributions made across various positions such as linebacker Caleb Francl recovering fumbles when needed most alongside others like kicker Jack Stevens converting crucial field goals without fail whenever called upon throughout entirety match itself overall too!
