WSU was 7-0 at home last year and if the refs had done their jobs the previous week would probably have beaten USC after getting the targeting call. This is not a bad WSU team and Utah nearly beat them on the road. The South is still not looking too great and the two losses Utah has are against solid North teams.
On the other hand:
They really could have won this week’s game and in a conference that’s as bunched up as this years will be it’s frustrating to lose a game like this. The South is weak this year and this game will really be costly at year’s end.
