I’m not making this up, the Bruins were down 49-17 in the 3rd quarter, and came all the way back to beat the Cougars in Pullman, 67-63. WSU’s QB had 9 TD passes in the loss, which had 6 WSU turnovers.

Amazing game.
While OU has had its share of last play losses....Kansas in 1964, USC in 1981, Colorado in 2007 and Boise State in 2006....there's never been a game where OU squandered a 32 point lead in the second half of a game. Doing so, in my opinion, is worse than losing any close game on a last play score.

I was the idiot who took WSU and gave the 18 points, thinking I had it made when the Cougars were up 49-17 with less than 7 minutes left in the third quarter. Cruise to victory? No such luck. This was not a double or triple overtime win for the Bruins, but they outscored the Cougars 50-14 in the last 22 minutes. Ridiculous. I also took Utah and gave 5.5 points to USC, only to see the Utes come out flat and lose 30-23 the Trojans. I hate the Pac12. 
I stayed up and watched it. It was crazy. Three turnovers by WSU and a punt return by the Bruins are what allowed UCLA to come back and win. UCLA score 4 touchdowns in a span of 4 minutes and 20 seconds during the comeback.
I feel bad for Wazzu. I was really hoping that Leach would have a magical season and guide them to an undefeated season and earn a playoff spot. I knew it was a long shot but to let UCLA come back like that has to have him in a foul mood this morning.
