Game Recap

The second annual Builders Square Alamo Bowl was a defensive battle between the Pac-10’s Washington State Cougars and the Southwest Conference’s Baylor Bears.

Led by the nation’s No. 2 defense, Washington State stifled the Bears en route to a 10-3 win. The Cougars held Baylor, which set a school record with 359 points during the 1994 season, to just 151 total yards of offense—the Bears’ lowest output of the season in points, first downs, and rushing yards.

Washington State scored first as quarterback and Offensive MVP Chad Davis connected on a 32-yard pass to Albert Kennedy to set up a 1-yard TD run by Kevin Hicks. Davis, who set three Alamo Bowl passing records at the time, completed 27 of 35 passes for 286 yards.

Shortly before halftime, the Cougars extended their lead to 10-0 with a 37-yard field goal by Tony Truant. Baylor kicker Jarvis Van Dyke connected on a 36-yard field goal to cut Washington State’s lead to 10-3 with 1:53 left in the third quarter.

Baylor had a chance to tie the game on the next drive after a 33-yard pass to Kalief Muhammad put the Bears on Washington State’s seven-yard line. But Baylor’s chances were crushed when Cougar safety Todd Jensen intercepted a pass in the end zone with 30 seconds remaining.
