The 1992 Copper Bowl featured the unranked Utah Utes and the #18 Washington State Cougars , as part of the 1992?93 NCAA football bowl season . It was played on the night of Tuesday, December 29, at Arizona Stadium in Tucson, Arizona . [3] [4] [5] [6]

Washington State scored first on a 3-yard touchdown run by running back Shaumbe Wright-Fair, then junior quarterback Drew Bledsoe fired an 87-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Phillip Bobo, increasing the lead to 14?0. Bledsoe would finish the game 30-for-46 passing for 476 yards. Wright-Fair scored on a 3-yard touchdown run for a 21?0 Cougar advantage at the end of the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Utah's Frank Dolce threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Shaun Williams, and Keith Williams scored on a 25-yard touchdown run to make the score 21?14. Bledsoe found Bobo for a 48-yard touchdown pass as Washington State led 28?14 at halftime. In a planned move by WSU head coach Mike Price , Bledsoe was briefly replaced by backup Mike Pattinson in the second quarter. [3]

In the third quarter, Dolce threw a 49-yard touchdown pass to Henry Lusk , and Pierre Jones' 8-yard touchdown run tied the game at 28. The only fourth quarter score was a field goal: Aaron Price, the son of the head coach, converted from 22 yards out with less than six minutes left and the favored Cougars escaped with a 31?28 victory, [7] [8] [9] and climbed to fifteenth in the final rankings .

This was the final collegiate game for the 20-year-old Bledsoe; he was the first overall pick of the 1993 NFL Draft . [10] [11] [12]
