Cougar football is back, take 2
Washington State returns to the field on Saturday in what could be a pivotal game in determining how the season unfolds. Coming off a disaster of a season opener, the Cougars are on the road some 3,000 miles away trying to avoid an 0-2 start.
The Rutgers game always felt like a swing game on the schedule and that remains the case, it's just a different swing than many expected. Lose and an 0-2 start will feel like a colossal failure on what is already a lost season. A win however, and suddenly 1-1 isn't looking so bad. There are no must win games two games into the season, but today will be a pretty big factor in the 2015 season.
