Monday morning trivia — Stanford edition

This Monday morning feels a little bit like the Monday after the Super Bowl. With a week of buildup for College GameDay and then the sunrise to sunset spectacle of Saturday, last week felt a little like the culmination of the season.

But, a new week is arrived and it turns out the Cougars have another football game to play. And it’s a big one. The No. 14 Cougars will travel to play the No. 24 Stanford.

Let’s see what you remember about some recent WSU-Stanford matchups.

After a week of not being ranked, Stanford snuck back in the top 25 this week, making it a ranked vs. ranked matchup.

Q1: Who was WSU’s starting quarterback the last time the Cougars faced an unranked Stanford team?

Gardner Minshew has thrown for at least 300 yards every game this season and has topped 400 four times. Which means he could be in line to break this player’s record.

Q2: Since 2000, which WSU quarterback has thrown for the most yards against Stanford in a single game?
