It was fitting to see WSU’s 20 seniors get their storybook ending in their final home game at Martin Stadium. Against No. 18 Stanford on Senior Day, the 25th-ranked Cougars emerged with a 24-21 win that was every bit as entertaining as the 30-28 result between the two teams in Pullman in 2015.
The difference, this time, of course, was that the Cougars pulled out the win. In doing so, WSU completes its first undefeated home season in school history, but more importantly, also keeps pace with UW in the race for the Pac-12 North title.
