Washington State vs Washington Game Preview
Why Washington State Will Win
So how has this gone so well under interim head coach Jake Dickert? The offense has been able to keep the passing game going.
The rushing attack has been a bit hit-or-miss, but the Cougars are good for 230 yards or more just about every time out, and the blanks get filled in from there.
It’s a sharp team that leads the Pac-12 in takeaways, doesn’t get hit with a whole slew of penalties, and the turnovers have been relatively spread out. After giving the ball away 12 times in the first six games, there have been five turnovers in the last six games, and three of them came against Oregon.

Okay, here’s the Pac-12 North situation. If Oregon beats Oregon State on Saturday it doesn’t matter what happens in this. However, if Washington State wins the Apple Cup over Washington, and Oregon State beats Oregon, the Cougars are going.
Oregon State needs Washington to win.
That’s not going to happen.
Washington just doesn’t run well enough – even though it’ll give it a go against the mediocre Wazzu run D – and the passing game that was so good in Colorado won’t be enough to come through.
It’ll be a close, tight showdown in the rivalry atmosphere, but Washington State’s passing consistency will be just enough to keep things moving.
