The No. 15 Washington State Cougars battled through an atmospheric river to tally four touchdowns in their shutout over Colorado last Saturday. The weather conditions kept quarterback Luke Falk from a bounce-back game with a crazy stat-line, but the Cougar offense did enough good things — plus a couple of great things — to get the win.
That said, it’s not hard to win games when the defense doesn’t allow a crooked number on the scoreboard.
The Cougs (7-1 overall, 4-1 Pac-12) escape the oncoming winter in the great Pacific Northwest this weekend for 85 degrees and dry, desert air, as the Arizona Wildcats (5-2, 3-1) welcome them to Tucson for their Homecoming.
