Preview Utah State at Washington State

The Cougars are at home against

Utah State Aggies this coming 

Saturday. Both teams had a bye. 

The Aggies are struggling having 

a 2-6 record on the season winning 

the opener and beating Wyoming on 

the road thevSaturday before last 

27-25. Wyoming has struggled with 

a 1-7 record.

On offense the Aggies are averaging

158.1 yards on the ground while

300.88 in the air per game. On defense 

they are close giving up 244 yards 

rushing while 255 passing. 

The Cougars who will be a big favorite

in this game average 158 yards on the

ground while 280 yards in the air. 

Facing the Aggies we can see the

Cougars mixing up the run and passing 

game. Most likely the Cougars will

score early on a long pass to get

things going. 

If the Aggies have the  ball first we 

could see them running the ball

to keep the clock moving. A good

strategy especially on the road. 

Turnovers should make a big diffence

especially if the Aggies have trouble

holding on. The  Cougars defense

will try to force the Aggies to get

in position to turn the ball over.

The Cougars are a 19.5 underdog

to the Cougars. WSU should go to

8-1 record. Go Cougs!

Monday night  the Cougars men's 

basketball  team begins their non 

league schedule at home against 

Portland State followed by Bradley 

on Friday.

The Washington  Huskies men's 

team begin at home against UC

Davis on Tuesday.  Like the Cougars 

they have a new head coach and

a group of new players as well.

 Gonzaga's men's  begin Monday

as well. The number 6 Bulldogs 

don't  start lightly  take on number

8 Baylor. It should be a fantastic 

game. 

Let you know how all three teams

first outings go. Stay tuned all

season long.
