Mind sharing thoughts on Wash St. I'm very close to playing them so maybe you can give me a nudge.
I lean to Wazzu, but I doubt I will eventually play. A few thoughts here. First, there is a LOT going I on right now over as Wazzu that can have an impact -- Leach is calling out his team and while you "think" that would provide a lot of motivation, you just never know -- something tells me that at some point, the players will just have enough of his bullshit act and go the other way -- is it now? probably not, as they have a very solid leader in Luke Falk and that can help keep things balanced and in check. But, lots going on that can have a negative impact
Also, Leach called out the Pullman police department and the President and AD met with the police department yesterday -- Leach is making claims that the police are unfairly targeting WSU football players -- of course, he could tell his players to stop assaulting people and stealing their shit!!
Idaho's campus is 8 miles away, so this is a huge game for Idaho. From a football standpoint, I saw enough from the Idaho offense to think they can move the ball on WSU at times -- one think you need to have with a big spread is a D that will get plenty of stops and allow you to pull away. Idaho's QB (Linehan) is experienced and there is a chance they can keep pace for a while.
The WSU Offense is going to score, so it is just a matter of the Coug D getting stops -- I think Wazzu scores 45+, so it boils down to whether Idaho can get into the 20s or better.
History says that WSU owns this game and I would't be surprised if the Cougs respond to Pirate Jackass and play out of their ass and cover -- just not sure.
Best of luck.......
