Washington State began the 2024 season with an impressive 70-30 win over Portland State. The Cougars continued to prove their strength by earning a 37-16 win over Texas Tech in Pullman, followed by a thrilling 24-19 Apple Cup victory over the University of Washington in Seattle last Saturday.

Remarkably, the Cougars’ defense held firm at a crucial moment, making a crucial stop on fourth down at the one-yard line to secure their victory.

Looking back at last season, Washington State posted an overall record of 5-7, including a 2-7 record in Pac-12 play. Jake Dickert, the head coach with a career record of 18-16, is now in his third full season and has been instrumental in the team’s upward trajectory.
