At the end of a near scoreless first quarter, Andrew Furney kicked in a 21- yard field goal to put the Cougars on the board first.

Early in the second quarter Price threw an 11-yard touchdown to Seferian- Jenkins to put the Huskies ahead. The Cougars responded with a 10- play, 81-yard drive that resulted in a one-yard touchdown run by Winston and put them back on top, 10-7.

The fourth quarter saw the tides turn as WSU began to rally back. Winston found his way into the end zone two more times off 2-yard and 1-run runs. Tuel passed to Brett Bartolone for the two-point conversion after the 1-yard score and following a 45-yard field goal by Furney, the game was tied at 28-28 with 1:59 remaining in regulation.

The Huskies were able to drive 58 yards down the field to set up a Travis Coons 35-yard field goal attempt. However, the attempt was no good and the game progressed into overtime.
