PASADENA, Calif. — A few UCLA players warmed up on Washington State's side of the Rose Bowl field before the game, and the Cougars felt disrespected. That's not a new emotion for players at a long-struggling, constantly overlooked Pac-12 school.
Several hours and several jaw-dropping moments later, Gabe Marks dived to make a catch that exacted revenge and made a statement: The Cougars are back in the game.
"People were not going to give us respect until they absolutely have to," Marks said. "Now they have to."
Marks caught a 21-yard touchdown pass from Luke Falk with 3 seconds to play, sending Washington State to a 31-27 victory over No.
