The Alamo Bowl: Get to Know Washington State

The Iowa State Cyclones will take on the Washington State Cougars in the 2018 Valero Alamo Bowl, an exciting matchup featuring two very similar football programs. While Iowa State certainly doesn’t run an air raid offense and Matt Campbell is nowhere near as interesting (captivating, zany, etc.) as Mike Leach, these programs do have quite a bit in common.

The first thing both programs have in common is that they’ve never played each other!

Washington State University

Pullman, Washington is nestled into a rather beautiful part of the country (seriously, if you’ve never been to the Palouse region, it’s time to take a road trip), and is home to Washington State University.
