Washington State Routs Colorado State 73-7 as Vorhees Breaks School Record With 98-Yard Touchdown Run
On Saturday night, November 14, at Gesa Field at Martin Stadium in Pullman, Washington, Washington State routed Colorado State 73-7. The Cougars won every quarter, 14-0, 24-7, 21-0 and 14-0, and controlled the game from the opening minutes.
Running back Kirby Vorhees was the story of the night. He scored three rushing touchdowns in the first half, from 3, 98 and 14 yards. The 98-yard run set a Washington State school record for the longest rushing play, tied the Pac-12 record and was the longest run in college football this season; Vorhees carried eight times for 158 yards in the first half alone. Quarterback Owen Eshelman added rushing touchdowns of 4 and 9 yards, and Jack Stevens kicked a 33-yard field goal as the half expired to make it 38-7. Colorado State's only touchdown came late in the first half on a 1-yard run by R. Vick.
Washington State added 35 more points after halftime, capped by backup quarterback Julian Dugger's 60-yard touchdown run for the final 73-7 margin. The Cougars rushed for more than 500 yards, a record for rushing yards allowed by Colorado State in a single game. The Rams gave up nine rushing touchdowns, a school record, and 73 points, the second-most in program history behind only the 79 allowed against Arizona State in 1969. Kickoff had been moved from 7:30 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. Pacific to accommodate television scheduling.
