Preview: WSU Cougars At Fresno State

The Cougars play at Fresno State this
Saturday Night. The key is for their
offense continue what they are doing
on the season.

They had a bye last week after being
beat by Boise State 45-24 for the first
loss of the season the week before.
A key to win is to play how they have
offensively on the season. Another
key would be defensively how they 
did in week two against Texas Tech 
and week three against the Washington
Huskies. Those were the best defensive
games of the season.

Fresno State had a bye last week as
well so no advantage on that front
for either team. They also lost that
week as well to UNLV 59-14.  The
three prior games they averaged over
40 points a game. So we could see 
a high scoring affair as well. This
could give FSU the advantage being
at home.

This game will be the second road
game on the season for the Cougars
 and the second in a row so can't really 
say if this is an advantage for FSU
or not. This to is why they play the 
games.

The last outing between them was
in the Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl
where Fresno State won 29-6 in
2022.  We hope for a better result.

Fresno State much like the Cougars
are more of a passing team than
running although either one could
have some success on the ground.
Mike Keene is the FSU quarterback.
In his second season after transferring
from Central Florida. When they do
run the ball senior Malik Sherrod is the
guy. He has sixty carries on the season
averaging 3.7 yards a carry and has
four touchdowns.

Who will win may come down to the
team with the least mistakes and
penalties. Go Cougs!
