If you’re an Arizona fan, bask in the glory at Arizona Desert Swarm. And if you’re a Washington State fan, indignantly dismiss the rout over at CougCenter.

Tucson, AZ (Sports Network) – Travis Cobb set the tone for Arizona, returning the game’s opening kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown, as the 21st-ranked Wildcats cruised to a 48-7 victory over Washington State.

Keola Antolin, Nick Booth and Taimi Tutogi recorded touchdowns on the ground for the Wildcats (6-2, 4-1 Pac-10), who have won three straight. Nick Foles completed 12-of-19 passes for 136 yards and a touchdown in the win. William Wright also returned a punt for a score.

Marshall Lobbestael went 7-of-11 through the air for 103 yards and a touchdown for the Cougars (1-8, 0-6), who have lost six in a row.

Cobb’s touchdown ignited a 24-point first quarter for Arizona.

After Washington State went three-and-out on its first possession, Foles capped a three-play, 44-yard drive with a 28-yard scoring strike to Terrell Turner.

Following another quick series by the Cougars, Antolin finished off a seven- play march with a one-yard touchdown run. Alex Zendejas then drilled a 21-yard field goal in the dying moments of the frame.

Jeff Tuel fumbled the ball upon being sacked on the first play of the second quarter. Lolomana Mikaele recovered for Arizona at the Washington State 14. Three plays later, Booth scored from a yard out.

Tuel lost the handle again on the next series at the Arizona 22. The Cougars quarterback suffered a leg injury on the play and did not return.

The Wildcats transformed the turnover into a 27-yard boot by Zendejas with 1:23 left in the opening half.

Wright’s 86-yard punt return accounted for all the scoring in the third quarter.

A one-yard plunge by Tutogi stretched the advantage to 48 before Jared Karstetter’s 64-yard touchdown reception spoiled Arizona’s shutout bid with 6:23 remaining in the contest.

Arizona outgained the Cougars, 471-185…Washington State registered only eight first downs…Booth finished with 84 rushing yards, while Antolin amassed 61 yards on the ground.

Ames, IA (Sports Network) – Keith Toston had 206 yards on 25 carries with three touchdowns, as 18th-ranked Oklahoma State crushed Iowa State, 34-8, at Jack Trice Stadium.

Zac Robinson went 19-for-24 with 142 yards and a touchdown for the Cowboys (7-2, 4-1 Big 12), who were coming off a 41-14 defeat at the hands of Texas. Hubert Anyiam had five catches for 48 yards.

Austen Arnaud completed 14-for-27 passes for 188 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions for the Cyclones (5-5, 2-4), who have dropped their last two games. Alexander Robinson caught the lone score.

Holding a 13-0 lead, Oklahoma State started the second half with the ball and used a 10-play, 80-yard drive to make it a 20-0 game, as Toston ran into the end zone from two yards out.

After holding Iowa State to a three-and-out, the Cowboys padded their lead, as a six-play series was finished on a 17-yard run around the right side by Toston for a 27-0 lead with 7:13 to play in the third.

The Cyclones offense finally got themselves together in the fourth quarter and put together a drive to cut into the deficit. On the seventh play of the set, Austen Arnaud hooked up with Robinson on a 45-yard touchdown pass and, coupled with a two-point conversion that saw Marquis Hamilton catch it in the end zone, the team trailed, 27-8, with 11:50 to play.

However, the Cowboys answered quickly, as a Toston 69-yard run to the two-yard line was followed three plays later by a Toston one-yard push into the end zone for a 34-8 lead with 8:45 to play.

Arnaud was picked off by Patrick Lavine on the next drive, and the Cowboys killed off the rest of the clock.

On their first possession of the game, the Cowboys put points on the board, as Dan Bailey booted a 42-yard field goal with 8:58 to play in the first for a 3-0 lead.

After holding Iowa State to a three-and-out, Oklahoma State again drove down the field, but stalled at the 31, and a 48-yard field goal from Bailey made it a 6-0 game with 4:38 left in the first.

The Cyclones crossed midfield on their ensuing touch but were unable to advance much further and had to punt the ball away, with Oklahoma State getting it back at its own two-yard line.

Zac Robinson gave his team some breathing room on the first play thanks to a 14-yard pass to DeMarcus Conner. The team methodically moved the ball down the field with a combination of runs and passes and converted a 3rd-and-4 on the ISU 18 with a seven-yard catch by Conner. Two plays later, Robinson and Tracy Moore hooked up on a 10-yard touchdown catch for a 13-0 lead with 9:50 to play in the first half.

Iowa State got a 56-yard kickoff return from Josh Lenz on the kickoff, but Arnaud was picked off by Perrish Cox.

Neither team was able to put any more points on the board before the end of the first 30 minutes.

The Cowboys host Texas Tech next Saturday…Oklahoma State has won three of the last four meetings and is 25-17-3 in the series…Iowa State hosts Colorado next Saturday…Collin Franklin had four catches for 46 yards in the loss fro Iowa State.

The afternoon games are so sorry. They didn't mean to stand you up, leaving you to make awkward conversation with the noon games. I mean, what were you supposed to say to Texas-Tennessee Tech?

Anyway, they're here. Are you going to make a big deal out of it? They're here, okay? Oh, by the way: please don't call LSU-Alabama "The Saban Bowl" by accident. You know all about that messy breakup, right?
