PULLMAN — Fans were calling it the miracle season. A stretch of games that produced results nobody could have possibly foreshadowed.
Ten wins for a team picked to finish fifth in its side of the conference? A Heisman campaign from a fifth-year transfer nobody had heard of?
What the Washington State Cougars had done in 2018 defied every expectation and prognosis. Until Friday, that is — when they did something all too predictable.
The Cougs just can’t get it done. Not when it really matters. Not when something tangible is on the line.
