WSU at UCLA: Third Quarter I

COUGARS

Has it seemed to anyone else that the third quarter has been a throwback?

No, I don't mean like in old school, but like what you do when you're fishing and what came into the boat was something you don't want.

So you throw it back.

Until just now, when Brandon Gibson (pictured; AP photo) dove into the end zone - legally I might add, because he was trying to avoid a tackle, not to embarrass anyone - for a 17-yard touchdown and giving the Cougs a 20-15 lead.

If Brink keeps this up - and there is no reason to believe he won't unless his arm gets tired - he'll throw for more than 400 yards.
