The team's statistical leaders included Dave Mathieson with 1,492 passing yards, George Reed with 503 rushing yards, and
Hugh Campbell with 848 receiving yards.[3]
Midway through the schedule, WSU was undefeated at 4–0–1, equaling their best start since
1936.[4] They received a vote in that week's
UPICoaches Poll (tied for 23rd),[5][6] but managed only a rally win at neighbor
Idaho (in the snow) in the final five games.
After three years as an
independent, WSU was admitted to the conference in the summer of 1962;[7][8] due to advanced scheduling, they played few of the southern members (of California) per season until the late 1960s.[7][8] The AAWU expanded to eight in
1964 with the addition of
Oregon and
Oregon State.
