Stillwater, OK - Can it get any worse for the Washington State Cougars. The once powerhouse of football is diminishing by the second. The Cougars got absolutely man handled. Right from the get go the Cowboys could do no wrong leading the game 17-0 within the first 5 minutes.
"Our offensive line was struggling bad today," Coach Bag of the Cougars said Saturday. "We need to start taking sacks instead of throwing out of them."
Washington State threw a total of 5 interceptions between Tuel and Lobbestael. Tuel went out in the third quarter for back pain. He wasn't the only one needing attention though. James Montgomery could be questionable for the rest of the season.
"Staden did a good job stepping up in Montgomery's shoes," Bag said. "He's a great running back and we will be using him quite a bit against Ole Miss next week."
Washington State kept the game pretty close for quite a while, but didn't have the horses to get the job done. They had way to many turnovers, three of them within 5 yards of a touchdown.
Oklahoma State's defense did an amazing job blitzing the quarterback and disguising their coverages. They held Washington State to a big goose egg in the third quarter and that is why they won the football game.
Washington State's defense had a couple of victories, two turnovers both forced by Nwachukwa, a fumble and an interception, but they also held Oklahoma State to two field goals in the red zone.
Ole Miss will come out firing on all cylinders after their 56 point victory agains FCS NW.

Washington State will host Ole Miss next Saturday. Go Cougz
