Preview Boise State at Washington State

This Saturday Boise State ranked number 21

in the country plays at Washington State. 

Boise State is at top of the Pac-12 and is

favored to win the conference.

BSU only loss of the season was in week one

when they almost upset the Oregon Ducks

on home field. Last week was their closest 

win beating Fresno State 38-31 on the road

making their season 5-1. They are 12.5

favorites this coming Saturday against the

Cougars. 

Boise State Broncos are averaging 35 points

a game while their opponents are  at 22.3.

Maddux Madsen is the Broncos quarterback 

and he has 13 touchdowns and no interceptions 

on the season while completing 66.3 percent 

of his passes.

The Broncos are averaging more on the ground

then passing which is rare in college football.

They average 234.5 on the ground while 216

in the air.  Dylan Riley is there number one runner

and he is averaging 6.6 yards a carry and has 6

touchdowns on the season. Sire Gaines is number 

two at 5.4 per carry with 3 touchdowns. He has

just over as many carries as Riley. It will be

important for the Cougars to stop them. It is

interesting since the Broncos offense is different
than the Beavers last week pass the ball more

although did have a runner who had over 100 yards.

Rasean Jones the Broncos wide receiver has

23 catches on the season for 359 yards and one

touchdown. Comes to receiving they have to watch 

for tight end Matt Wagner who had 22 catches 

for 242 yards and four touchdowns. Third in

catches is wide receiver Akeem Wright with 11

catches for  181 yards and one touchdown. 

Last week the Cougars benched the QB from

the previous games in favor of redshirt freshman 

Owen Eshleman who accounted for most of the 

offense. He ran for 136 on only 15 carries and

a touchdown. Passing he threw for 289 with 2

touchdowns and one interception. The interception 

happened at the end of the game. The rest of

the running game had only 65 yards. The Cougars 

have a chance not only will Eshleman have

to repeat much what he did against the Beavers

will have to get more yards from the running 

backs on the ground.  Go Cougs. 

Washington Huskies Men's Basketball Preview

This last Saturday the  Washington Huskies men's 

basketball team had their first exhibition game

which they lost to Boise State 109-91. 

The Huskies play the WSU Cougars on October 

25 at home in second exhibition before facing

Colgate on November 1 in regular season opener 

The Huskies play in the tough Big Ten so they

have to get to know each other better. Nine of

the 15 are new through the transfer portal.

A big problem in this game the Huskies 

had 18 turnovers to Boise State 9

Shooting wise both teams did well. 

There were a lot of foul shots to by both

teams.  99 between the too which is crazy.

The Huskies actually shot better at the foul

line do didn't make a difference. 

Boise shot well from field. The Huskies 

made 51% while just over 40% in three 

point shots which is better than other 

seasons.

Wesley Yates lll who is the only returning 

starter came off the bench in this one

as the sixth man. It will be interesting if

the Huskies stay that way or not. He had 

11 points. Parker Freidrichsen had 15 

points off the bench. Whether these two

continue coming off the bench we will see.

In all the Huskies had  40 points off the bench.

I am sure coach Danny Sprinkle want to

see how certain players  matched together.

We could see a different starting lineup 

against the Cougars.

Tayshawn Comer and Lejuan Watts each

had 16 points to lead the Huskies while

starting. Watts lead them with 9 rebounds.

Both fouled out to. Lethan Sommerville 

another hold over started with ten points

and give points. He was at power forward 

and fouled out too.

Right now this is a work in process for

the Huskies. The Huskies play in the

tough Big Ten so if they can progress 

with a winning record and have less

injuries be good.  Go Dawgs

Seattle Kraken Hockey

The Seattle Kraken come home to start a 

homestead after having a successful road 

trip despite losing the final two games which

isn't a large surprise since Tampa Bay and 

Florida Panthers are two of the top teams

in the NHL.  

The Kraken lost to Tampa Bay by a goal 

while losing to the Panthers 8-3 on Saturday.

The Kraken are now 5-3-1 and in third place 

behind Vegas and Edmonton who are two 

of the losses. TB loss was overtime.

Tuesday they begin a four game homestand

against Detroit Redeings who they beat on

the road 6-3 on October 9.  Go Kraken.

Oregon State Beats Washington State

It was expected that the Oregon State 

Beavers would beat the Washington 

State Cougars in their first match up

since being the two teams remaining 

in the new Pac-12.

The Beavers are the best of these of

these two teams however the Cougars

should be ashamed how they played

especially offensively.

Final Beavers 48. Cougars 30

The  Beavers have an outstanding offense

and the Cougars offense had their best of

the season.  

The Beavers had 555 total yards while

the Cougars had 459 yards.  The Cougars 

play this way in their remaining games

this season they should have more wins

than one they have now 

The game had no turnovers until the

Cougars threw a long pass with three

seconds remaining was intercepted.

The Cougars did what they had to.the

 very end that you can't fault them. 

Owen Eshleman a redshirt freshman 

making his first career start as a Cougar.

Owen completed 32 of 49 passes for

a solid of just over 65 percent and 289

yard with two touchdowns.

If the Cougars had any fault offensively 

Eshleman had most of the yards running

the ball too. He carried 15 times for 136

yards  and had his first running touchdown 

with 1:37 remaining in the game for 20 yards.

It looks for the time now he is the Cougars 

quarterback. They had 15 more carries

that came to 32 yards. Something the

Cougars will have to work on.

Branden Ganashamoorthy was the key

receiver that Eshleman looked to with

11 catches for  147 yards and a touchdown.

Going into this game he had 15 catches

for 196 and two touchdowns. Likely 

see these two hook up the rest of the way.

Things won't get easier for the Cougars  as 

they take on Boise State next Saturday at 

home. Despite  the  Beavers they are expected to win the Pac-12 title.  Let's see if the Cougars

can do an upset. Go Cougs. 

Washington Huskies Finally Win Big Ten Game

The Washington Huskies football team 

bad their best offensive game  of the 

season. They really needed this win 

after going 0-3:in the Big Ten 

Final Washington 38 Purdue 26

This wasn't the most perfect game 

but certainly the best one of the season.

The Huskies had five turnovers Friday night.

This all on the road too. 

Elijah Brown making his first start of the 

season for the Huskies completed 21 of 

27 for 302 yards and three touchdowns. 

Brown had three intercepted but not all 

his fault. The receivers need to complete 

running their routes. 

The big improvement was running the ball.

Trevion Cooley had 8 carriers for 113 yards.

One run was 53 yards for a touchdown.

It was the last score of the game. He had

to leave a little later as he was hit hard

on a play. We hope that he can go next week.

Brian Bonner Jr.  ran 13 times for 64 yards

and had a touchdown at the end of the first

half. He caught a 25 yard touchdown pass

about six minutes earlier.

Chris Lawson led the Huskies with six catches

for 103. Dezman Roebuck had five catches

for 97 yards and had a 4 yard touchdown 

early in the 4th quarter.

The Huskies defense gave up a lot of big

plays though Purdue running back Fame

Ijeobi last week against Minnesota having 

195 yards only had 13  carries for 19 yards

He did catch a pass for a touchdown though.

The Huskies have next weekend off then

plays at Nebraska on Saturday October 31.

This should be what they need. We will

see whether quarterback Desmond Williams 

Jr. returns to start of not. Go Dawgs. 

Time To Sit Darnold

It has been rough for the quarterbacks

her in Washington State so far this

season.

The Huskies had to take out Demond 

Williams Jr. in the end of the first half

and Friday night Elijah Brown will start.

Saturday the Cougars are placing their

quarterback though not hurt but a team

record of 1-5 which is understandable.

Sam Darnold was hurt in the very first 

series of the opening game and Drew

Lock replaced him and played three 

games. Now they are struggling with

Darnold back. Should he have waited 

another week or not. 

Is the problem with Seahawks as with

the Huskies and possibly the Cougars

the offensive line or is it that Darnold 

is throwing interceptions. Against the

Broncos Thursday night he was sacked

five times. How many of those were the

line or the running backs blocking to

or Darnold or all three.  

Is the problem the play calling or the

running game. Although the Seahawks 

running game wasn't great it was better

than the Broncos.  The Seahawks almost

won both the last two weeks.

Zach Charbonnet is expected back in

game seven against the Kansas City

do we give Darnold another week or

not. I am sure every Seahawks fan

has an opinion that is why they are 

fans. We will see. One thing we are

understanding why it is hard to win

two Super Bowls in a row. We don't 

have to panic yet.  Go Seahawks. 

Seahawks Lose In Overtime

The Seahawks lost Thursday night at

Denver against the Broncos 17-14.

The game was done by both teams 

defense or struggle by both offenses 

ot combination of both. Take a pick.

The Seahawks are now 3-3 after two

losses in five days they could have

won as well. 

Until the 4th quarter the Seahawks 

weren't doing well. The Seahawks 

were passing the ball a lot though

at times did have some success 

on the ground. 

The Seahawks total yardage was twice

of the Broncos.  If we went by how each

tesm did by seeing the stats only the 

Seahawks would have won but didn't.

The Seahawks had a field goal in the 

first quarter but nothing in the 2nd and

3rd quarters.  The Broncos scored twice

in the 2nd quarter on the ground thougj

didn't do much otherwise running the ball.

Both teams went scoreless in the 3rd quarter.

George Holani ran in on a touchdown with

5:41 remaining in regulation.  They made a

two conversation too. After stopping the

Broncos the Seahawks kicked a field goal 

with three seconds to go to tie.

Broncos win the coin toss but allowed the

Seahawks have the ball first.  They did

a good job driving then Sam Darnold 

threw an interception.  After moving a

little ways they kicked field goal to win.

The Seahawks next game will be on

October 25 at home against the KC

Chiefs. Hopefully get things squared 

away. Go Hawks
