Washington State Finally Has Momentum But One Doubt Still Lingers
Washington State at least entered the week with something solid to point to, thanks to a notable victory that helped the Cougars keep pace with a Pac-12 slate that was otherwise a mixed bag. Across the conference, the teams went 3-0 against FCS opponents and 2-3 against FBS foes, a reminder that there was still some separation between the games teams were supposed to win and the ones that actually tested them.
Kirby Moores program now gets to build on a result that mattered, and theres value in that for a team trying to establish itself amid a conference stretch that also saw Boise State and Oregon State earn their own notable wins.

Arizona Defense Faces A New Test From Washington State's Ground Game
Washington State spent the weekend sending a clear message on the ground, piling up 316 rushing yards in a 48-7 win over Duquesne and producing its highest rushing total in 21 seasons. Maxwell Woods and Kirby Vorhees both topped 100 yards, and Vorhees added two touchdowns as the Cougars leaned on a run game that looked physical, coordinated and far more than just a change-of-pace option.
Coach Kirby Moore pointed to execution and run blocking as the key to carrying that success forward, and thats where the spotlight now turns as the Cougars head into a far stiffer test. Arizonas defense will have a much better idea of what Washington State can do when the line of scrimmage is the issue, and whether the Cougars can keep that same push against a defense built to make life harder on the ground.
