Before we get into my thoughts about Saturday’s game, let’s take a stroll down memory lane real quick with the last five WSU teams to win nine or more games in a season.
October 25, 1997
WSU brings its sterling 6-0 record and No. 10 national ranking into a midseason matchup with unranked Arizona, now 3-4 after a 30-point loss the week before at home to Washington. The Wildcats take the Cougars to overtime, with WSU eventually prevailing (surviving?) to move to 7-0 when Arizona elects to go for two after a touchdown ... and fails to convert.
