On Saturday, Rolovich handed the regions to freshman QB Jayden de Laura during a 38-28 road triumph over Oregon State. The Cougars never trailed in the game and led by 21 points in the third quarter.

Jayden de Laura became the first true freshman to start at QB in school history and finished with 227 yards to go along with two touchdowns. Deon McIntosh rushed 18 times for 147 yards and a score for the Cougars. WSU will need just as big of day to keep it close against very talented Oregon team.
