Washington State – Page 9 – Syndication Server

It’s only been a three game sample size, but so far, the Cougars have been hit for conversions 50% of the time or more in each of the three games, and it’s been a problem for any sort of consistency.

Cal’s offense can’t do much of anything, but the defense hasn’t been totally miserable, the team is able to control the clock just enough to combat one of Wazzu’s main positive – time of possession – and there aren’t enough turnovers and mistakes to give away a whole slew of breaks.

Throw in a secondary that hasn’t been getting gouged, and the Bears will give up yards and points, but they should be able to get off the field enough to keep down the Washington State offense. But …

– Week 15 College Schedule

Why Washington State Will Win

The Cougars can still throw.

This might not be the high-flying fun show of the Mike Leach era, and there weren’t any downfield shots working against USC last week, but the offense should be able to push for well over 200 yards.

Cal isn’t getting enough out of its offense. That’s a wee bit by design with an attack that relies on ball control and strong defense, but not really … the O just isn’t all that good.

This isn’t a Cal team that’s going to step on the field and put up 50 points. Being a +2 in turnover margin helped the cause in the first win of the year – beating Oregon 21-17 last week – and the Cougar turnover problems against USC should be more of a blip than a real issue.

What’s Going To Happen

Cal is going on its third road game in the five games, Washington State is back home, and this should be a dead even game between two teams that could never quite get going.

Washington State was able to get by Oregon State with a balanced attack and 229 rushing yards, but that’s not happening against the Cal D. It won’t be pretty, but the Bears will get their second win in a grind of a game.

USC (3-0) vs Washington State (1-1) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on the NFL, go to BetMGM

Why Washington State Will Win

The offense hasn’t quite worked like it normally does at Washington State, but the passing game clicked against Oregon, the ground game was fine against Oregon State, and starting QB Jayden de Laura is fine and ready to go.

The offensive line is doing a strong job at keeping defenses out of the backfield, there’s been only one turnover, and there’s enough pop and explosion – and time to prepare – to keep up with a USC offense that’s been fine, but hasn’t quite blown up yet.

Unlike the Wazzu O line, the USC offensive front is having problems against teams that can get behind the line. The Cougars don’t have a big-time pass rush, but they should be able to generate pressure.

– Week 14 College Schedule

Why USC Will Win

Did USC find something that works against Utah? It was the team’s lowest yardage output yet, but it was an effective performance against a tough team.

The defensive side came up with its best performance of the season, was fantastic against the run, and it came through when needed with the key plays to prevent the drama from the first two games.

Kedon Slovis might not be ripping it up quite as well as expected, but USC still leads the Pac-12 in passing, and it’s still a positive that the team is 3-0 even though things aren’t working quite right.

Washington State hasn’t done much defensively, the line should be shoved a bit against the run, and there isn’t much of a worry about turnovers – Wazzu isn’t taking it away enough to matter.

– CFN Experts Picks: College

What’s Going To Happen

It’s a strange Sunday game going on just after both the Rams and Chargers are finishing up.

USC’s offense will finally start to look the part, but Washington State will bring just enough offensive production for a full four quarters to make this interesting. The Trojans will have enough balance to keep things moving with third down conversion after third down conversion.

Stanford (0-2) vs Washington State (1-1) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on the NFL, go to BetMGM

Why Washington State Will Win

Stanford is struggling way too much on third downs on both sides of the ball.

The Cardinal offense has only converted nine of 29 chances, and the defense has been a disaster at getting off the field, allowing Oregon and Colorado to convert 17 of 25 third down opportunities.

The Washington State offense hasn’t been the high-octane thrill ride it normally is or likely will be … yet. It seems like it’s coming, though.

Freshman QB Jayden de Laura wasn’t bad against Oregon State, and he hit Oregon for more downfield plays and 321 yards with two scores. This has looked like an offense under.a new coaching staff that just needs a little time, but it has the upside to be explosive, and Stanford’s O hasn’t been consistent enough. However …

– CFN Experts Picks, Predictions: Week 12

Why Stanford Will Win

New Wazzu head coach Nick Rolovich has had to do a few tweaks, and there’s been a personnel overhaul in some spots, and it shows defensively – especially on third downs – and the passing game hasn’t started to click yet.

Stanford might not be playing all that well, but the passing game hasn’t been bad, the offensive line is great in pass protection, and there hasn’t been any problems controlling the clock. The Cardinal should have the ball for at least five minutes more.

Can the Stanford running game finally start to work? It was okay against Oregon, but it wasn’t anywhere to be found against Colorado in last week’s loss. Pounding away on the Washington State defensive front shouldn’t be a problem, QB Davis Mills has a game under his belt after throwing for 327 yards against the Buffs, and …

What’s Going To Happen

Stanford needs its lines to be better.

The pass rush and the normal Cardinal playmaking behind the line haven’t been there, and the O line – while talented and not that bad – needs to be able to own the ground game.

Washington State has the ability push with the passing attack, but Stanford will be on the right side of a close win helped by just having the ball longer.

– All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Oregon (1-0) vs Washington State (1-0) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on the NFL, go to BetMGM

Why Oregon Will Win

It was a steady, solid performance in the 35-14 win over Colorado, considering the Ducks had so many key losses – including a budding superstar NFL QB in Justin Herbert – and with the a whole lot of rust needing to be shaken off.

Tyler Shough was great, the running game was dominant, and the team was steady throughout even though the Cardinal were able to move the ball a bit.

Now Shough – who threw for 227 yards and ran for 85 yards and a touchdown – gets to run through a Washington State defense – should be able to keep everything moving.

– Week 11 Schedule, Predictions, Lines

Why Washington State Will Win

The Cougars were almost perfectly balanced against Oregon State. They weren’t able to bomb away like the program is used to – Jayden de Laura is going to need a while, but he was able to throw for 227 yards and two scores – and the ground attack got a great day from the O line on the way to 229 yards.

Oregon did a lot of things right against Stanford, and Washington State doesn’t have the same talent on the offensive front, but it did nothing behind the line. The Cougars will work quickly and efficiently, and they’ll keep pressing.

– CFN College Football Experts Picks

What’s Going To Happen

Washington State is going to keep pressing.

Oregon will generate more of a running game on the Cougars than Oregon State did, and it’ll be steady for a full four quarters to have control of the game, but again, the other side won’t go away.

Wazzu will score enough to make Oregon keep pressing, but turnovers will become an issue. The Ducks will be a +2 in turnover margin to pull away in the second half.
