Washington State holds a 8-4-1 all-time series lead over San Jose State, the Cougars most-common Mountain West opponent. The two teams played six times between 1956-64, including a streak of five straight years. WSU thumped SJSU 31-0 in the last meeting in 2018 and won 52-16 the game before that, in 1996.

PULLMAN — Washington State quarterback John Mateer passed a major test last week. In taking down rival Washington in WSU's first Apple Cup win in three years, he totaled three touchdowns, two on the ground and one through the air.
