Washington State's fortunes have ebbed and flowed this year. The Cougars started 4-1, lost three in a row, won three in a row, and closed their regular season with a 51-33 loss to Washington in the Apple Cup.
Appropriately, it was this unpredictable Washington State team that provided the biggest blooper of the young 2022 bowl season.
With a little over 11 minutes left in the second quarter and the Cougars trailing Fresno State 14-0 in the Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl, quarterback Cameron Ward dropped back into his own end zone to pass. Pressured by the Bulldogs, Ward stepped out of bounds for a safety to extend Fresno State's lead to 16-0.
