Last year, Washington State made an early-season statement by knocking off a ranked Wisconsin team in one of the most hostile road environments in all of college football.

This time around, the Cougs played host to the Badgers in Pullman, but the results were about the same, thanks in large part to an impressive performance from WSU quarterback Cameron Ward.

Ward completed 20 of his 32 pass attempts Saturday night for 212 yards and a pair of touchdowns as the Cougars knocked off Wisconsin once again, 31-22.

Showing off his versatility, Ward also led Wazzu in rushing, gaining 43 yards on 17 carries.

It's another impressive win for the Cougars, and a performance that should help boost Ward's stock for the 2024 NFL Draft.
