WSU can score points. It will be the first real test of our secondary. WSU as usual doesn’t run much. This transfer QB seems very accurate and most importantly his line gave him a lot of time. I know this isn’t the USC of old, but they had a hard time pressuring the QB.
WSU’s defense has some holes. They have a small Dline. USC kept throwing deep. If they didn’t complete the pass – the refs often called PI. USC exploited their DBs. But, I am not sure we have the abaility with our QBs or wide receivers to successfully go deep. USC has some amazing athletes in their receiving core and the young QB has an arm that can throw deep.
When we play WSU we will need to establish the run. However, WSC will stack the box, so we will need to mix it up with the pass or we will not be able to run. In spite of our poor offensive showing, I think we will be able to score against WSU. But, WSU will also be able to score. This may be the best passing offense we face all season long (Oregon may be better). I think we will need to get some pressure on the QB, but that won’t come with just a 4 man rush. This Oline knows how to protect their QB and do it well.
We need an offensive game plan which will score 28+ points and can keep WSU’s offense off the field as much as possible. This will NOT be an easy game. WSU is better than most expected IMO. The transfer QB has been an unexpected blessing. They are not great, but they can score and I highly doubt we can hold them to less than 24 points.
