You better hope Stanford turns into Paul Finch from American Pie because we need to go Cougar hunting on Saturday. David Shaw is arguably the most recognized and respected Pac-12 coach; only Washington’s Chris Peterson is in the conversation. But it’s the other Apple State coach who gives David Shaw fits.
If it weren’t for a missed field goal by WSU last year, Mike Leach would be the only coach ever to beat David Shaw three times in a row. And the loss two years ago was flat-out embarrassing. That game holds the distinction of being the first and only game I’ve ever left early—and I haven’t missed a game since 2005.
