The Monday After: What to make of this team?

Related Topics: Daniel Isom, Utah

I’ve had a more difficult time composing this particular Monday After than I do most weeks. Typically, I’m looking for big picture narratives — ideas on where the team has been, where it’s going, etc. I’m a writer. I’m an English teacher. I like stories.

To that end, I have found this Washington State team to be particularly confounding. Six games into a 12-game regular season, I’m just not quite sure what to make of this squad.

Take, for example the defense.

It would be real easy to do this kind of analysis: 26, 24, 45, 17, 6, 24.
