Playing in front of his parents for the first time as a collegiate football player, Washington State senior linebacker Frankie Luvu picked off Stanford quarterback K.J. Costello to clinch a 24-21 win for the No. 25 Cougars (8-2, 5-2) over the No. 21 Cardinal (6-3, 5-2) in snowy Pullman on Saturday afternoon.
The Wazzu defense was the story of the day, holding Stanford to just 198 total yards, keeping the Cardinal under 200 by not allowing a single yard on the final drive. Stanford’s star running back, Bryce Love, was held to just 69 yards on 16 carries.
