Welcome back, victory Monday.
And with it, comes the return of the CougCenter Monday Morning Trivia Contest.
If you aren’t familiar, every week from now until ... sometime after college basketball season, I’ll pose some relevant trivia questions and award points for correct answers. I’ll tally them up and at the end of it all, someone will join the exclusive club of other CCMMTC winners.
With that said, let’s get right back into it.
The Cougars play San Jose State this week. The two teams haven’t met a lot, especially for being relatively close in proximity. The game on Saturday will be the 13th meeting between the schools.
Q1: Who was WSU’s head coach the last time the Cougars played San Jose State?
Freshman running back Max Borghi got his career off to a good start with a pair of touchdowns against Wyoming. Assuming Borghi keeps that pace up and stays for four years, he’s now on pace to score roughly 104 touchdowns in his career.
Q2: Who holds the WSU record for career touchdowns scored?
Q3: Who holds the WSU freshman record for receiving touchdowns scored?
