Hall of Fame
The Washington State College football team was a dominant force during the 1930 season. Cougar Head Coach Babe Hollingbery's team outscored its opponents 218-32 en route to a 9-0 record and the school's second Rose Bowl appearance. In all, the Cougars shut out opponents in five games and capped the regular season with shutouts at Washington and at Villanova. The team featured future NFL Hall of Fame members Glen "Turk" Edwards and Mel Hein. Edwards and Hein became the first All-Americans selected from Washington State, and Hein, a consensus pick as the greatest center in football, became the first player to have his jersey retired at Washington State. The Cougars could not overcome a 21-point second quarter by Alabama and fell to the Crimson Tide in the Rose Bowl 24-0.
