BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Marquess Wilson sped past two defenders and hauled in a 63-yard touchdown pass from Marshall Lobbestael with 1:10 left to lead Washington State to a stunning 31-27 comeback win over Colorado on Saturday.
The Buffaloes (1-4, 0-1) were primed for a win in their Pac-12 debut before surrendering two touchdowns in the final 212 minutes. Colorado had thwarted Washington State’s high-powered aerial attack most of the afternoon with a patchwork secondary that included two converted offensive players.
Lobbestael threw for 376 yards and three touchdowns in leading the Cougars (3-1, 1-0) to just their second road win in four years under coach Paul Wulff.
The Buffaloes led 27-17 with 5:11 left after Rodney Stewart’s 1-yard TD run.
