Been super-fun following the Cougars and Mike Leach and Gardner Minshew and Peyton Pelluer this year.
All year, just when it looks like the Cougars are in a pickle, late in the game, and you expect them to "Coug it", Minshew or someone else pulls some remarkable play out of their ass, or they get just the right little break, or the D gets a turnover. Exactly how things went vs. Iowa State.
Peyton Pelluer gets that strip fumble, in the 4th quarter, then Minshew pulls that shovel pass out of his ass on 3rd and 10, leading to Borghi's 10 yard TD run.
The WSU Cougars have been exciting and clutch all year, and many exciting games.
Winning at Stanford, 50-47? Wow. Beating Oregon? Fantastic.
It was just a shame that the Apple Cup was so influenced by the snowy weather. Would have been a much more interesting game, even if the final result wasn't different. Probably would have looked a lot like the Alamo Bowl.
You could tell Iowa State had a superb defense, like the Cal and UW Huskies defenses. Minshew did well not to force throws into 8 man coverage.
Anyway, congratulations to WSU for a superb season!! 11 wins!!
