The goal for this Washington State senior class was a Pac-12 championship.
So perhaps it’s fitting that on Senior Day this Saturday, that’s exactly what they’re playing for.
Beat No. 18 Stanford, and WSU retains control of its own destiny, chugging toward a Nov. 25 Apple Cup duel with Washington that could double as a play-in game for the Pac-12 North berth in the conference championship game.
Lose to Stanford, and the dream of winning a conference championship fades into the background as UW and the Cardinal would have to trip down the stretch to give WSU any hope of jumping back in the title chase.
