PULLMAN – Frankie Luvu’s family traveled 5,348 miles from Pago Pago, American Samoa to Pullman this week so they could be at Martin Stadium to congratulate him on Senior Day.
It was the first time in Luvu’s four years that his family has been able to come watch him play college football, and with his father, Veresa, his mother Ia, and two of his eight siblings in the stands, Luvu played with just a little extra motivation.
He ended up making the biggest defensive play of the afternoon: Intercepting Stanford quarterback K.J. Costello with 19 seconds left to seal a 24-21 win for 25th-ranked WSU.
