By PAC-12 standards, heck by all standards, everyone involved in this game knew it was a big one. With both Rose Bowl and conference championship hopes on the line, it was the #14 Washington State Cougars (7-1 / 4-1 PAC 12) that made all the clutch plays down the stretch versus the #24 Cardinal (5-3 / 3-2 PAC 12).
WSU senior quarterback Gardner Minshew (40 for 50 passing / 438 yards / 3 TD’s / 87.7 QBR) continued to look like the college version of Drew Brees Saturday night, dicing up the Cardinal D on The Farm, especially in the 2nd half.
