After a dominant defensive performance in a blowout win over Louisiana Tech, WSU packs up once again and heads east for the third time this season. And for the third time, they’ll face a one-loss, ranked opponent — this time the James Madison Dukes.
A 10 a.m. West Coast kickoff and a spread favoring the Dukes by 13.5 points suggest a tough test for our Cougs, but let’s take a deeper dive into the numbers to see what this matchup really looks like.
