Washington State Cougars College Football Preview 2021: What Will Happen, Season Prediction
Everyone in the Pac-12 deserves a bit of a free pass for 2020.
It was a rough run that started late, had no rhythm whatsoever, and it was nearly impossible for the teams that saw game after game get postponed or cancelled to find something that consistently worked.
Washington State and new head coach Nick Rolovich only got four games to work. The defense didn’t do much of anything, the offense had four completely different showings, and there wasn’t too much to take from a 1-3 season.
It also didn’t help that the three losses came to Oregon, USC, and Utah.
Set The Washington State Cougars Regular Season Win Total At … 6
Everyone is loaded with veterans in this year of the super-season, but for a team like Washington State that relies so much on precision with its offensive style – that still applies under Rolovich – having a full offseason with an attack that gets back almost everyone should mean the world.
For a defense that was totally awful, having ten starters and a whole lot of depth coming back can’t help but make things a whole lot easier.
So call Wazzu the Pac-12 wild-card – or, at least, one of them.
It gets USC at home, but it has to go to both Oregon and Washington. The Non-conference slate isn’t bad, but there’s a date with BYU in Pullman. Three’s a run of six home games in the first eight dates, but three of the last four are on the road.
It should all add up to a more fun season with a bowl game, a big upset here or there, and the potential of big things to come as Rolovich and his staff get even more settled in.
