Hurricanes vs Washington State Cougars live stream online NCAA College Football CBS TV broadcast coverage, live scores, Game Kickoff time & schedule and Radio Commentary info here. More snow is expected Sunday. That terrific setup was undone by a terrible play call when running back Joseph Yearby was asked to throw on a reverse play. Washington State ran out the final 2:58 for the win.

After that, the Cougars (9-4) ran out the clock and held on for the win, extending the Hurricanes’ postseason losing streak to six games. The Canes had nine penalties for 98 yards after racking up six penalties for 63 yards in the first half. Just to set the stage for you, the Hurricanes had just fumbled on the Washington State 5-yard line after having a touchdown run called back on a block in the back. Luke Falk, the sophomore quarterback for Washington State, threw for 4,266 yards and 36 touchdowns on the season, completing nearly 71 percent of his 591 passes.

The Sun Bowl was played in a driving snowstorm for much of the second half.

Kaaya was 17 of 31 for 219 yards with one interception.

Virginia Tech 55, Tulsa 52: At Shreveport, Louisiana, Michael Brewer threw for 344 yards, Isaiah Ford had 227 yards receiving and Frank Beamer won in his coaching finale. A promising drive ended in a turnover, however, when redshirt sophomore linebacker Peyton Pelluer came away with the interception after Scott couldn’t hang on to the ball in the end zone. He has passed such notables as Bernie Kosar and Vinny Testaverde on Miamis all-time list.“Theyve got good speed and theyre big up front, ” Washington State defensive coordinator Alex Grinch said. Miami wasted the strong field position with a turnover-on-downs after only gaining a single yard in four plays. Erik Powell, who earlier in the second quarter booted a 30-yard field goal, closed out the first half with a 25-yarder.

The Hurricanes, who won four of their past five games after the Clemson debacle, needed to make a splash with their head-coaching hiring and were able to do that with Richt, who for all his flaws at Georgia only won less than eight games in the SEC once since 2001.

The offense began to click as Kaaya seemed to find his rhythm and Scott began making plays.

Miami came close to ending a tumultuous season with a comeback victory. Washington State fumbled in the second quarter, but the defense forced a three-and-out.

Washington State: WR Gabe Marks leads the team with 99 catches for 1,125 yards and 14 TDs, while WR Dom Williams has 73 catches for 997 yards and 11 TDs. Miami got the ball back less than two minutes later, but the Cougar’ D foiled the Hurricanes again, as Shalom Luani intercepted a pass from running back Joe Yearby. The offensive line returns all 10 players who saw action, and another year of developement could greatly help.

Miami is tied for fifth in the nation in turnover margin at plus-13, while Washington State is tied at No. 87 at minus-3…. As in, how in the world could I have thought the Cougs were going to beat the Huskies in the Apple Cup with a backup quarterback going against that Washington defense in a road game?
