Pullman, WA (SportsNetwork.com) – Anu Solomon threw five touchdown passes
against a deplorable Washington State defense, leading 15th-ranked Arizona
to a 59-37 rout on Saturday.
Solomon did most of his damage in the first half, as the Wildcats (6-1, 3-1
Pac-12) jumped out to a 31-0 lead early in the second quarter. Washington
State’s potent offense woke up after that, but the damage was done.
Solomon threw for 294 yards on 26-of-38 passing efficiency, Terris Jones-
Grigsby ran 13 times for 107 yards and five different players hauled in
touchdown receptions in the dominant victory.
Connor Halliday, who set the NCAA single-game passing record earlier this
season, stuffed the stat sheet once again, but most of his crooked numbers
came with the game already out of reach. Halliday completed 56-of-79 for 489
yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions.
Vince Mayle led all receivers with 14 catches for 145 yards and a touchdown,
and Isiah Myers scored twice among his six grabs for 95 yards.
Washington State (2-6, 1-4) has dropped four straight home games to the
Wildcats.
