Laramie, WY — The Washington State Cougars made a strong statement Saturday night in Laramie, steamrolling the Wyoming Cowboys 45-20 to improve to 11-1 on the season.
Quarterback John Mateer was nearly flawless, completing 33 of 35 passes for 395 yards and five touchdowns in what may be his most impressive performance yet. Mateer set the tone early, connecting with wide receiver Kyle Williams on a quick-strike touchdown to open the scoring.
The Cougars' defense followed suit, stifling the Cowboys on their first possession. On the very next play from scrimmage, Mateer and Williams struck again—this time on a dazzling 87-yard touchdown connection that silenced War Memorial Stadium and gave Washington State a 14-0 lead they would never relinquish.
From there, it was all Cougars, as they piled on the points with a balanced and efficient offensive attack while holding Wyoming in check for most of the night.
Williams emerged as Mateer’s favorite target, finishing with multiple touchdowns and providing a deep threat that Wyoming had no answer for. The Cougars’ offense moved with precision, while the defense delivered timely stops to maintain a comfortable lead throughout.
With the win, Washington State wraps up the regular season with an impressive 11-1 record, setting the stage for a potential high-stakes postseason run.
