The last play of the second quarter provided Washington State all the points the Cougars needed to record a 10-3 win over Baylor at the second annual Builders Square Alamo Bowl. The Cougars did something against Baylor they had not done all season, take the opening kickoff and driving 91 yards for a touchdown. The game’s most valuable defensive player, Ron Childs, had 10 tackles including eight solo, of which two were for negative yardage. Only on its last possession did Baylor come close to the WSU endzone, but Todd Jensen picked off a Jeff Watson pass to halt any Baylor hope of scoring. The bowl victory was WSU’s second in the last three years and third in seven years.
