Is WSU’s Offense Fixable? Breaking Down the Cougars’ Inauspicious Start with Greg Woods
In this episode, Greg Woods and I break down Washington State football’s offense and what needs to change moving forward. What is going wrong with the WSU offense? Are these flaws correctable? And what difference can we expect to see from Kirby Moore and his play calling?
We also dive into the WSU quarterback situation, offensive struggles, and plenty of general ranting (by me) about the ineptitude we’ve seen from the Cougars so far this season.
Before wrapping up, we discuss just how impressive Washington State’s defense has been, what has gone right on that side of the ball, and the bigger-picture outlook for WSU football moving forward in the new-look Pac-12.
