Three things we learned from WSU Cougars’ 67-63 loss to UCLA

Eight days after denouncing the state of California for its poor infrastructure, Washington State coach Mike Leach will spend the next week evaluating the infrastructure of his own football team in the wake of a 67-63 upset loss to UCLA in which the visitors erased a 32-point deficit to notch one of the most impressive wins in school history, and guarantee one of the most embarrassing defeats in Cougar history.

The highest-scoring Pac-12 Conference game ever produced 130 points and 1,377 yards of offense, but we don’t have the time or column inches to provide every mind-numbing stat and factoid from this late-night marathon on the Palouse, so we’ll unpack a few of the important ones as we analyze what went right, and then terribly wrong, for Washington State in the first loss of the 2019 season.
