Cal drops Cougs but can't stop a few standout Palouse performances
Cal drops Cougs but can't stop a few standout Palouse performances.
That headline tells you exactly what you need to know: the final score wasn't pretty, but the box score had some real bright spots. You don't win a ball game on moral victories, but when you're watching from the couch, or, if you were lucky enough to be in the building, from the bleachers, you take what you can get. And what we got were a few individual efforts that reminded you why you watch in the first place. Some guys just refused to let the game get away from them entirely. They made plays that would have been the story on a different Saturday.
This is why we do what we do here. We aren't going to pretend a loss is a win. But we also aren't going to ignore the guys who showed up. If you want a full rundown of who stood out and what it means going forward, we've got you covered. For a deeper look at the individual performances that made this game worth watching, check out "Coug ballers made Week 8 worth watching from the couch." Those are the names you'll want to know.
It's a long season. The scoreboard doesn't tell the whole story. Go Cougs.
