If last week’s game against the Stanford Cardinal was a “prove-it” game for Washington State, hoooooo boy did the Cougars pass that test with flying colors.
Because of that, I’m no longer inclined to look at any of the games over the final quarter of the season as any kind of referendum on the team or the coaching staff. They’ve shown us who they are, and when someone does that, I tend to believe them.
The Cougs played on Saturday as if they understood just how important the game was to their season, much as they had earlier in the year against Cal.
