I said the Cougars had a better team than the Huskies, and as I walked out of Husky Stadium midway through the third quarter Saturday night, I wondered how I could have been that wrong. Lord knows I’ve been wrong before, but if this were a field-goal attempt, it wouldn’t have been wide left or wide right, I would have whiffed and missed the ball completely.
Washington State was overmatched in every possible way. The Cougars couldn’t even take advantage of it when two of the Huskies’ playmakers, Dante Pettis and Lavon Coleman, left the game in the first half because of injuries.
