How Will Cougs Come Back After Opening Loss?

After being favored by 3.5 points going into their opening matchup in Week 10, the Cougs fell stunningly, losing just 10-7 after a late missed field goal. Entering the rematch this weekend, the line has shifted even further in favor of Washington State. They lost to James Madison last week, but hanging with the top-performing Dukes and a beatdown of Louisiana Tech the week prior has analysts picking them to win once again.

The previous game against the Beavers was among the team's worst overall performances of the season, and a repeat would be incredibly tough to swallow. How the Cougs open the game will be vital as they look for a bounce-back victory, and it will definitely be interesting to see how the team looks as they attempt to even up the season series.

Can Cougs Pull Out Bowl Berth?

It's do-or-die time for Washington State in the final game of the season. At 5-6 on the season, they need one more win to become bowl-eligible and extend their season. Conference matchups always carry much more weight, and the added pressure only takes the stakes even higher.

With so much on the line, the Cougs' coaching staff will have to pull out all the stops to secure a victory and their place in an upcoming bowl game. As the game progresses, the team's approach could take on an increased sense of urgency, and this weekend marks WSU's most important contest of the season.
