Washington State 49, Utah 37:
Connor Halliday threw for 488 yards and four touchdowns to help the Cougars become bowl eligible with a win over the visiting Utes.

Dom Williams had five catches for 154 yards and two touchdowns for Washington State (6-5, 4-4 Pac-12), which outgained Utah 578-481. Isiah Myers added seven catches for 83 yards and Marcus Mason had eight catches for 88 yards and a score as well as 86 yards on the ground.

Adam Schulz was 21-of-46 for 347 yards and three touchdowns for Utah (4-7, 1-7), including five hookups with Dres Anderson for 129 yards and a score. Jake Murphy added five catches for 102 yards and two touchdowns.

The Cougars jumped on top in a hurry, with Halliday throwing a 5-yard touchdown pass, followed by two interception returns for touchdowns — 22 yards by Damante Horton and 39 by Casey Locker — to give Washington State a 21-0 lead in the first. The Utes pulled back within seven but Halliday's touchdown pass to Mason and two Andrew Furney field goals pushed the lead back to 13 by halftime.

Utah cut the lead to six midway early in the fourth on Schulz's 64-yard scoring strike to Murphy. But Halliday's 71-yard touchdown to Williams pushed the lead to 12 and the Utes never got closer.
