Gardner Minshew Leads Washington State to Comeback Win over Bryce Love, Stanford

Quarterback Gardner Minshew led the No. 14 Washington State Cougars to a 41-38, come-from-behind victory over the No. 24 Stanford Cardinal on Saturday night at Stanford Stadium in Stanford, California.

Washington State trailed 28-14 late in the second quarter, but Minshew turned in a dominant second-half performance and finished with 438 yards and three touchdowns on 40-of-50 passing.

Minshew orchestrated a masterful drive with 1:25 remaining in the fourth quarter and the score tied at 38. A 35-yard pass to Jamire Calvin on third down got the Cougars in field-goal range, and Blake Mazza converted from 42 yards out with 19 seconds left to give Washington State the win.
