The No. 8 WSU Cougars survived an upset bid by Cal on Saturday night, escaping with a 19-13 win thanks to quarterback Gardner Minshew’s 10-yard touchdown pass to Easop Winston Jr. inside the final minute.
Now the 8-1 Cougs take their longshot crusade to make the College Football Playoff to Colorado this Saturday, where they will battle a Buffaloes team that started the year with five straight wins but is now at risk of losing its fifth straight.
Our own Brock Huard will handle color commentator duties for ESPN’s broadcast of WSU’s trip to Colorado, and he already got a jump on his preparation for the game on Sunday night.
