Analysis: What we learned in WSU’s 31-24 win over Houston
HOUSTON – Championships aren’t won in the third game of the season, but trophies are handed out occasionally.
Perhaps that best encapsulated how Washington State felt, and what it accomplished, in a 31-24 win over Houston at NRG Stadium. The Cougars secured what might be the best road nonconference win of the Mike Leach era, but didn’t lose sight of their long-term goals. It’ll be a nice addition to the Cougar Football Complex, but the Advocare Texas Kickoff trophy obviously is not the piece of hardware players set their targets on this offseason.
