While Washington State’s offense is ranked sixth in the country, putting up 19 touchdowns in three games, their defense isn’t quite as good. Coming in at 51st, the Cougars allow an average of 346 yards per game. However, this is more than the UCLA Bruins have gained in any of their first three games.
The Washington State Cougars rank even lower in first down defense, ranking 77th in the country and allowing their opponents to gain 61 total first downs. While these stats are literally just on paper and what materializes on the field is an entirely different story, the Bruins may have an opening here for some success.
