Potter’s Trio of Touchdowns Propel Washington State Over San Diego State, 36-13.
In a remarkable showdown, Washington State beat San Diego State 36-13, with Jaxon Potter playing a vital role in the victory. The exceptional quarterback threw three touchdown passes in Saturday’s game.
Potter succeeded in throwing a pair of 3-yard scoring tosses to tight end Trey Leckner, coupled with Jack Stevens’ 49-yard field goal and a safety by the defense. This led to a 19-7 halftime lead for the Cougars. Potter then connected with Leon Neal Jr. for an 18-yard touchdown in the third quarter, followed by a 42-yard field goal from Stevens’, effectively making it 22-point advantage. The final score was capped by Julian Dugger’s 3-yard run with 2:48 left to play.
The game began with the Aztecs leading 7-0, achieved by a 35-yard touchdown pass from Jayden Denegal to Jacob Bostick in the first five minutes. But later, Denegal’s 1-yard touchdown run reduced their lead to 29-13 as the final quarter began.
Potter displayed a consistent performance, completing 28 of 42 passes for 257 yards with no interceptions. On the other hand, Denegal amassed 133 yards for San Diego State on 15-for-30 passing.
Washington State has maintained a 2-0 record under new coach Jimmy Rogers, marking the first time since 2003 that a first-year coach has won his debut match. The team managed to rush for 139 yards against the Aztecs, compared to just three yards in the previous game against Idaho.
