If college football played 57 minute games, the Washington State Cougars would be 4-0 right now. Unfortunately, games are 60 minutes long and, even more unfortunately, the officials did not forget that rule allowing Oregon to stage a comeback and pick up the 44-41 victory.
To some fans, it was a crushing loss. To other fans, it was disappointing, but encouraging. To the players and coaches in the locker room, however, it was nothing but a mere bump in the road.
“I still feel like we’re number one,” said defensive back Chau Smith-Wade after practice on Tuesday.
