A lot of pundits — and Vegas — put the No. 8 Washington State Cougars on upset alert in Eugene last Saturday. So much for that. The Cougs scored on their first offensive play and didn’t ever look in jeopardy of letting the Oregon Ducks take advantage of a “let down” spot.
The Wazzu #SpeedD held the Ducks to 2.9 yards per rush attempt and only 3.85 yards per play. Jeff Nusser talked about how great the defense was in Autzen in his Monday After column.
The “Hot Boy$” generated the second turnover for the Cougs in the fourth Oregon possession of the second half.
