The 1993 Washington State Cougars football team was an American football team that represented Washington State University in the Pacific-10 Conference (Pac-10) during the 1993 NCAA Division I-A football season. In their fifth season under head coach Mike Price, the Cougars compiled a 5–6 record (3–5 in Pac-10, seventh), and outscored their opponents 271 to 248.[1][2]

The team's statistical leaders included Mike Pattinson with 1,430 passing yards, Kevin Hicks with 497 rushing yards, and Deron Pointer with 996 receiving yards.[3]

Starting quarterback Pattinson, a fifth-year senior from nearby Moscow,[4][5][6] suffered a broken collarbone at homecoming against #21 California in mid-October and was lost for the season.[7][8] Shawn Deeds came off the bench to lead the WSU to a decisive victory and a #25 ranking at 5–2,[9][10] but the Cougars lost the next four games with Chad DeGrenier and Deeds at quarterback.[11][12]
