Welcome to something we're calling "Cougar Classics." Today, we're reviewing the 1984 game when WSU faced the Oregon Ducks, and some guy named Rueben Mayes set the all-time NCAA single-game rushing record. Who came up with this idea? Well, let's just say when it's Sunday afternoon and you're sitting by yourself with little on television, the internet is your friend.
I stumbled upon this little gem when our own Britton Ransford linked a WSU highlight video. It was then that I decided to take notes throughout the broadcast to re-create it for you folks. My guess is that a great many of you weren't even born when this game took place, so hopefully this will give you an even better appreciation for what Rueben Mayes and the Cougs accomplished on that day in Eugene.
