The unlikely hero in WSU’s win over Stanford? Kicker Blake Mazza, with his first career game-winning FG

Until Saturday night, Blake Mazza, a redshirt freshman from Texas, had never in his career been asked to make a game-winning field goal. He made the most of his opportunity, and the Cougars are now 7-1.

STANFORD, Calif. – Max Borghi spoke with a scratchy voice Saturday night as he responded to reporters after No. 14 Washington State’s 41-38 win over No. 24 Stanford.

The freshman running back and his teammates had plenty of reason to empty their lungs in the wake of a come-from-behind victory on The Farm, but that isn’t necessarily why Borghi had trouble getting words to come out during Saturday’s postgame interviews.
