Looking ahead of OSU, Matchup with WSU

In the past few years, the defense has matched up really well against WSU's strength - throwing the ball. The D-line has gotten pressure and hit the QB and the secondary has diminished the will to catch the ball with big hits. When I look at this year's edition of the defense, it seems like we struggle to get pass rush and we bend but don't break until the red zone. This seems like a plan that is doomed to fail. Thoughts?

    Falk was a stationary target that Vea and Gaines ate alive with primarily a 3 man rush. UW could drop 8 in coverage and windows were few and far between. Minstache can actually move around a bit and take-off on occasion. The non-existent UW pass rush will allow coverage to breakdown at times and the kewg to keep chains moving. Could be a long day. We? will probably have to score over 30 pts to win if it's a fair weather game.

    I'm praying to allah for a shit weather game as I think our physicality would be an advantage in that situation.

    Agree

    I know long range weather forecasts aren't worth much, but it's been a pretty calm fall so far.

    We?re better than we've looked.

    WSU is worse than they've looked.

    Script says WSU is 10-1 coming into it and UW beats them so true Coogs can call for their coaches head after a dream dynasty 10 win season.

    Amazing how much a decent QB can cover your team’s deficiencies. They could have been undefeated
