1988 Apple Cup
Down by 12 at the half, Washington State mounted a stirring second-half comeback, highlighted by a fourth quarter blocked punt by Shawn Landrum, to defeat Washington and propel themselves to an Aloha Bowl berth, the program's first bowl game since the 1981 Holiday Bowl. With the Huskies facing a fourth and five at their own 32, Landrum made the play of the game by blocking a Husky punt; the Cougars' Jay Languein recovered the ball at the Washington 13-yard line with 10:42 remaining. The WSU offense moved the ball to the five-yard line and with 9:06 left in the game, quarterback Timm Rosenbach ran the remaining yards into the endzone to put the Cougars up for good. "Jay Languein told coach Dave Arnold he felt if he stepped outside, the corner (Shawn Landrum) could go inside and have a chance to block it on the return," WSU Head Coach Dennis Erickson said. "He (Landrum) just came through free and made a great play to block it."
