    Mike Leach looked around and in an instant the mob was already closing in, heading for midfield and encircling the Washington State coach.

    After a season of failing to meet expectations and negative attention, the Cougars finally got the kind of celebration they expected to be common when Leach was hired a year ago.

    "I was kind of amazed how quick all those fans got out there on the field," Leach said. "Sometimes it takes them a little while. It didn't take them very long."

    Andrew Furney kicked a 27-yard field goal on Washington State's first possession of overtime, and the Cougars overcame an 18-point deficit in the fourth quarter to stun rival Washington 31-28 in the Apple Cup on Friday, snapping an eight-game losing streak.
