What to Know
The Washington State Cougars have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. Washington State and the Oregon Ducks will face off in a Pac-12 battle at 10:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Autzen Stadium. These two teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.
The Cougars were able to grind out a solid win over the Arizona State Sun Devils two weeks ago, winning 34-21. The squad ran away with 28 points in the first half and mostly just sat on those in the second to pick up the victory. Washington State can attribute much of their success to QB Jayden de Laura, who passed for two TDs and 234 yards on 27 attempts in addition to punching in one rushing touchdown, and WR Calvin Jackson Jr., who caught eight passes for one TD and 139 yards. That receiving effort made it the first game that Jackson Jr. has posted more than 100 yards receiving.
Washington State’s defense was a force to be reckoned with, as it collected two interceptions and four fumbles. The picks came courtesy of DB Jaylen Watson and DB Chau Smith-Wade.
Meanwhile, when you finish with 246 more yards than your opponent like Oregon did last week, a favorable outcome is almost sure to follow. They beat the Washington Huskies 26-16. It was another big night for Oregon’s RB Travis Dye, who rushed for one TD and 211 yards on 28 carries.
The Cougars have to know they’ll be fighting an uphill battle given the 14 point spread they are up against. They are currently six-for-six against the spread in their most recent games, however, a trend bettors might want to take into account.
The wins brought Washington State up to 5-4 and the Ducks to 8-1. Two defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Washington State is stumbling into the game with the 193rd most rushing touchdowns allowed in the nation, having given up 14 on the season. Oregon has experienced some struggles of their own as they are 181st worst in the nation in passing touchdowns allowed, with 14 on the season. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
