Falk leads Washington State over Oregon State 52-31

PULLMAN, Wash. -- Washington State and quarterback Luke Falk could do no wrong in the first half Saturday against Oregon State, and as a result the Cougars won their first Pacific-12 home game in two years. The second half was another matter, as Washington State's high-flying offense was shut down. But it was too little too late for Oregon State, which lost 52-31. "My job was easy today," Falk said. "Get the ball to (receivers) and let them do the work." Falk tied a team record with six touchdown passes, but all came in the first half. The offense did not score in the second half. "We let our foot off the gas in the second half," said Falk, who completed 39 of 50 passes for 407 yards, and was intercepted twice.
