The Arizona Wildcats came to Pullman with slim hopes of a bowl game, but nothing seemed to go their way, and it was evident from the beginning. The first drive had a touchdown throw that was called back and ended in a three-and-out, followed by a punt return into Arizona territory.
The game changing play was in the first quarter, and it was fairly early. There was 10:12 left in the quarter. Washington State just kicked a field goal to go up 3-0. Brandon Dawkins throws into double coverage and gets picked.
