5 Washington State Cougars the Ducks need to watch out for

Washington State has a few players Oregon needs to pay close attention to if the Ducks want a win in Pullman.

The Pac-12 season begins for the Oregon Ducks football team this weekend with a trip up to Pullman to face Washington State. This particular road game isn’t usually an easy one and even before the season started, fans knew this was going to be a tough one.

But now the Cougars are 3-0, including a win at No. 19 Wisconsin. They’re a good team and the Ducks are going to have their hands full in the Palouse.

What’s different about this Washington State team is that in they have a really good defense. The Cougars have always been well known for their offense, but it’s been flipped. Players such as defensive end Ron Stone anchors a defense that held a ranked Wisconsin team to just 14 points.

Although the offense isn’t as explosive as it one was, quarterback Cameron Ward transferred to WSU from Incarnate Word and the higher level of competition hasn’t affected him as all.
