It's never easy to stop Washington State's "Air Raid" offense.
Making matters worse for Oregon State's beleaguered defense this week as it prepares for the No. 21 Cougars is that three members of the secondary are either out or doubtful because of injuries for Saturday's game in Pullman, Wash.
Starting cornerbacks Dwayne Williams and Xavier Crawford were injured in the first half of last Saturday's 48-14 loss to Minnesota. Williams will undergo ACL surgery and is out for the season. Crawford won't play against the Cougars because of an injured shoulder.
Jaydon Grant, another cornerback, is doubtful with a shoulder injury.
