The Washington State Cougars play a football game against No. 8 Stanford for control of the Pac-12 North in a matter of minutes. It's Halloween. Tomorrow is November. All of those things are indisputable facts and therefore enjoyable to type.
But seriously, how damn great is this? Tonight, Washington State football can put themselves on the map, finally turning that elusive corner while gaining bowl eligibility with four games remaining.
They've strung together three consecutive wins in Pac-12 play, though it hasn't been easy, and tonight will be the toughest test of them all, but they've won these games, thanks to the kid under center who has yet to meet a moment too big, an offense clicking unlike we've seen and a defense growing as a unit by the week.
