Washington State dominated Toledo 28-7 in a lopsided non-conference clash at Martin Stadium, sparked by quarterback Zevi Eckhaus who accounted for three first-half touchdowns. The Cougars built a commanding 21-0 lead in the second quarter with Eckhaus throwing touchdown strikes to Tony Freeman and Carter Pabst after opening the scoring with a 7-yard run. Despite a late second-quarter touchdown from the Rockets, Washington State sealed the victory when Kirby Vorhees punched in a 6-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter.
