Mississippi State scored an impressive and exciting 19-10 victory over Illinois in the ReliaQuest Bowl to honor the memory of Mike Leach, who passed away last month at the age of 61.

For Mississippi State RB coach Jason Washington, the win was even more special.

That’s because, after the game, Washington got on a knee and proposed to his girlfriend:

The game was memorable for many reasons, but it will be remembered as a truly special day for Washington and his now-fiancé.

Would Leach have had any advice for Washington and his new fiancé? You bet. Elope!

Congratulations to Washington on the win and his engagement.
