RECAP: No. 19 WSU blows 32-point lead to UCLA, loses 67-63

The Washington State Cougars suffered what has to be their worst and most improbable loss in program history when they gave up 50 points in the second half on their way to blowing a 32-point lead to the UCLA Bruins and losing, 67-63.

This, despite Anthony Gordon throwing for 570 yards and a program record 9 touchdowns.

The game started weirdly; the Cougars kicked off favored by 18 points, but they didn’t exactly cruise out of the gate. Their first drive ended just three plays in with a Gordon interception — the kind we’ve seen before, where he just didn’t see a dropping defender.
