WSU prepares for 2017 spring game

Washington State will play a quasi actual football game this week as the Cougars head to Spokane for the Crimson and Gray game. It might not be quite as good as the real thing, but it will have to do until September.

The spring game is a great opportunity for players further down the depth chart to make a big splash. It’s also a time for the stars to shine. That results in a lot of interesting box scores. Let’s see how well you remember some recent history.
