Instant takeaways: WSU finds its QB, but is still lacking identity in Apple Cup loss

Washington State never led during the 117th Apple Cup. The Cougars had few answers for Washington’s offense. WSU showed some encouraging signs with Zevi Eckhaus under center, and at one point in the second half it seemed like the Cougs might rally and make it a tight game late, but the underdogs from Pullman faded in the fourth quarter and absorbed a 59-24 loss Saturday at Gesa Field to their arch rivals from the west side.

Difference makers: WSU has no answer for UW backfield tandem

The Huskies’ sophomore quarterback was unfazed by WSU’s defense throughout a near-spotless Apple Cup performance. With Williams running the show, the Huskies mostly seemed to move downfield effortlessly. He completed 16 of 19 passes for 298 yards and four touchdowns with no turnovers, completing five passes of more than 25 yards and two that went for 45 or more.
