POST GAME COMMENTS BY COACH DODGE
I am very proud of this team. We played hard all year and to be able to cap it off with a big win that gets us our 2nd Bowl victory plus a 10 win season is a huge statement for this program that just 3 years ago was the laughing stock of the Pac-10. I am so excited to see what the next chapter in WSU Cougar Football holds.
