Washington State led Utah State 16-3 at halftime in Logan and lost 17-16. Seven second-half drives, five punts, two lost fumbles, zero points. The Cougs are 1-5. Then on Monday, Kirby Moore made the call: redshirt freshman Owen Eshelman replaces Caden Pinnick at quarterback and makes his first career start Saturday at Oregon State.
Dylan and I break down how we got here in The Recap. Pinnick’s season, an offense that hasn’t scored a third-quarter point against an FBS team, Moore’s first game calling plays, and what this quarterback change says about him as a head coach. Then Chad Doing of Rip City Radio 620, a Coug himself, joins us in the Weekly Preview to talk about his road from Prairie High and Pullman into Portland radio, and what WSU is walking into against an Oregon State team that leads the country in passing and just hung 66 on San Diego State.
We also go around the whole league in Traversing the Pac, hand out the Coug of the Week, and break down a betting line that has moved four to five points toward the Beavers since it opened.
WSU at Oregon State, Saturday, Oct. 17, 3:00 PT on USA Network.
Cougs on the Couch is presented by Ben Cowboy Realtor.
