PULLMAN -- Washington State came out of the locker room primed and never let up, the Cougars methodically dismantling Idaho 56-10 Saturday out on the Palouse. From offense and defense to special teams and beyond, presented in living Technicolor, this exclusive crimson and gray 26-shot pictorial, as seen through the CF.C photo lens.


Michael Bumpus started the scoring for the Cougs with this 12-yard scamper as Washington State rolled to a 56-10 win over Idaho Saturday in Martin Stadium


Aaron Johnson 's day included quarterback hits and hurries, a forced fumble and caving in the offensive line


The one position where Washington State did not liberally substitute Saturday was on the offensive line. Here, Sean O'Connor, Bobby Byrd, Josh Duin, Kenny Alfred (not pictured), Charles Harris and tight end Cody Boyd (not pictured) plow the road on a successful quarterback sneak for a touchdown by Alex Brink


Defensive end Lance Broadus looks to alter the quarterback's flight path. Broadus' day included one very athletic interception plus a quarterback hit


Dwight Tardy skated for a game high 92 yards on 15 carries against Idaho


Johnson and Ropati Pitoitua each had a strong performance against Idaho, contributing to a stronger inside presence for the Cougs up front this year


Jason Hill tiptoes along the sideline on this 21-yard reception


Hill's 71-yard catch and run put him in the top ten all-time at Washington State for receptions, moving him past Deron Pointer (112 from 1991-93), and also placed him No. 4 in career receiving yards at WSU, passing Phillip Bobo (1990-92) and C.J. Davis (1988-92). Hill's 2,214 receiving yards are now but 238 behind the great Hugh Campbell's career tally from 1960-62


Brian Williams wraps up with Trent and Frampton closing fast


Receiver Chris Jordan lays out on one of three first half touchdown receptions for the senior against the Vandals


Offensive lineman Kenny Alfred and tight end Cody Boyd get it done up front


Charles Dillon saw action as both receiver and punt returner and threw a number of key blocks


Derrell Hutsona gained 68 yards on nine carries Saturday in Washington State's 56-10 win over Idaho


Linebacker Scott Davis logged five tackles, seemingly all of them at key junctures, none bigger than a three yard tackle for loss on a fourth down goal-line stand


True freshman defensive end Kevin Kooyman logged his first sack as a Cougar on Saturday in second half action


Linebacker Andy Mattingly races downfield on the opening kickoff to drag down the Idaho return man on the 16-yard line. The freshman had three tackles on the afternoon


Kevin McCall runs to daylight on this 53-yard scoring run to cap the scoring on Saturday


Tardy grinds out some tough yards against Idaho Saturday out on the Palouse


Middle linebacker Greg Trent had three tackles and a fumble recovery against Idaho


Williams had four tackles and two pass breakups in his first start as a Cougar


Washington State's defense held Idaho to 303 yards, with 71 of those coming in the final five minutes. Eric Frampton had a team high nine tackles for the Cougs


Senior center Josh Duin putting his man back on his heels


Bill Doba takes issue with the officials Saturday in Martin Stadium. The Cougs were flagged by the Pac-10 crew 10 times for 108 yards Saturday after being penalized just twice by SEC referees at Auburn the previous week. Idaho was flagged seven times for 73 hashes


The Cougar Faithful on hand were treated to a dominating Cougar performance from beginning to end


Much like the defense, coordinator Robb Akey was fired up all day long Saturday


Washington State piled up 637 yards of total offense while holding Idaho to 83 yards rushing on 32 carries in the 56-10 victory
