So this is two straight really nice defensive performances from Washington State. I'm not sure how to process that. Basically, Utah took an early lead with a pick six, a punt return TD, and basically the only long play of the day (a 76-yard touchdown run), then did almost nothing offensively for three full quarters. Wazzu's offense wasn't particularly amazing itself, but it was good enough to eventually make up the 21-0 deficit and steal a win.
