WSU Vs. Colorado: Cougs Win 31-27 On Late Marquess Wilson Touchdown

by Craig Powers on Oct 1, 2011 4:06 PM PDT in 2011 WSU Football News

The pants are off. I may put them on when I go to the bar later. Not sure.

I screamed like a little school girl when Marquess caught that touchdown. I screamed even louder when Paul Richardson fumbled the ball.

The Cougs were down by ten in this game with less than three minutes to play. They won.

How many times have teams done that to us over the years? Feels good to be on the other end.

Marquess Wilson was bottled up almost the whole day, and dropping as many passes as he caught.

Then, when all hope seemed to be lost, he made a ridiculous catch on the sideline. The next play Marshall Lobbestael hit Isiah Barton to pull the Cougs within three.

All hope seemed lost again after a mysterious pass interference call went against Daniel Simmons. The Cougar defense stepped up anyway and gave the offense one more chance. 48 seconds later, WSU had their first lead since 7-3.

Enjoy this. This is your postgame thread. We'll be back with more later.

Galvin is on pace for around 600 yards and 9 rushing TDs this season

Through 4 games he has rushed for 193 yards and 3 TDs.

I think his numbers will imporve when Tuel gets back

And the Cougs can run the option read with a QB the defense actually has to worry about running the ball. (Not that 600/9 is bad)

Compared to where we have been running the ball?

That is a massive improvement. And one that shouldn’t be ignored when comparing this years team to the last three years

I agree completely

I was not saying that his numbers are bad at all. I was just saying I think they are going to get better. When Tuel is back, I think we will run the ball a little more.

This is also true

And I don’t disagree with your point either.
I am just psyched that we might actually have an okay running game this year.

I was actually surprised

at how much more Winston got to carry than Galvin. Might he still be recovering from that concussion?

I am sad there is not a single comment about Long.

He played absolutely brillant imo.

Now there is a comment on Long!

You don’t have to be sad anymore!

After the game i looked at Colorado's game thread.

They were wondering if he was related to Howie Long? (Petty sure the announcers would be all over it if he was). Hope that makes you feel better.

Go Cougs!

Sometimes you just have to make the comment yourself

He did have a great game. It seemed like he was in the backfield routinely. I’m sure I will be corrected, but I was happy with his performance.

I feel like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football. Ugh

What about AHE!?

The man was a beast today! Night and day difference compared to last season in my eyes

The Tormey influence?

the D-line influence

he isn’t facing a rogue O-lineman every play— Rankin was shoving guys around in there. You gotta have that guy they feel the need to double or chip down on. laurenzie and Pole were rugged too. Tie up the linemen and AHE and the LB’s fair well vs. skill set guys.

If you can't Go Cougs... don't go.

Seeing the score to this game cured my hangover

Spent couple days in Vegas, and the plane ride coming home was during the game so I checked the score and all of a sudden I was as chipper as they come! GO COUGS!
