Preview Idaho at Washington State

The Washington State Cougars play host
to the Idaho Vandals Saturday evening
in Pullman at 7 pm.  The game will be
nationally televised on the CW.

Even as a Husky fan you can watch the
first hour before their game starts.

The Cougars are favored by 9.5 points. 
That is close in this series. The Cougars
have won ten straight over the Vandals.
The two teams haven't played since
September 2022. The last time Idaho
won was 2000 so been sometime.

The Cougars have a new head coach
in Jimmy Rogers coming from South 
Dakota State. The Cougars have 70
new players as well so have to learn 
new players.  So this game will see 
how good are the Cougars going to 
be.

In the season they will be favored
in several games especially early 
on. After that it is a toss up for most 
of the games at this point. 

The Vandals will have a new quarterback 
in Joshua Wood a transfer from Fresno 
State. Nate Thomas takes over as the
leading running back. The Cougars coaching 
staff are familiar with him since they 
faced him in 2021 when he played for
South Dakota. He has been around for 
a while it looks. 

On defense the Vandals have lost their
top six tacklers so the Cougars could 
have a field day offensively.

This should be in entertaining game.
At least we hope so anyway. Go Cougs!
