ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Washington State’s offense is already under the microscope, and this episode asks the question Cougs fans are thinking: is it just a rough start, or something deeper? Drew Kalahar and Darrin "Cougar" Carlson break down the brutal Kansas State loss, the Caden Pinnick debate, and what has to change before Duquesne arrives in Pullman.They get into the specific reasons the Cougars have stalled out, from pass protection and conservative play calling to the lack of a vertical threat and the pressure that comes with starting 1-2. They also tackle Pinnock’s frustrating postgame interview and apology, and whether Owen Eshelman deserves a real look if the offense keeps sputtering.You’ll discover:Why the offense feels stuck and what’s really breaking downThe case for and against starting Caden Pinnock against DuquesneWhy Tony Freeman’s season-ending injury changes the passing gameHow Jalen Thomas became the biggest bright spot with two interceptions and a pick-sixWhich Pac-12 teams looked like winners, losers, and maybes in Week 2Drew and Cougar also talk about what a response game should look like against Duquesne, including the physical identity Washington State needs to reestablish, the defensive havoc they want to see, and why the next few weeks could reveal whether this team is built to adjust or just repeat old mistakes.If you want honest Cougs talk, a real quarterback conversation, and a reset on where this season can still go, this is essential listening before the home opener.#cfb #pac12 #pac12football #wsu
