The Monday After: Toughness? Grit? Whatever ‘it’ is, these Cougars have it

henever a team takes on an opponent as a significant underdog, there’s an assumption that the underdog will need to play a relatively flawless game to pull off the upset. This belief goes double for games on the road in especially hostile environments — like, say, Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin.

The Washington State Cougars didn’t even come close to playing a flawless game on Saturday against Wisconsin. And they won!

Somehow?

To be honest, I’m still in a little bit of disbelief about the outcome. Not because I can’t believe it happened, but because I can’t believe it happened like that.
