For years, it seemed as if Washington State might never find a way to win in football.

From 2004-12, the Cougars went through a losing stretch with which Colorado could sympathize.

Washington State has enjoyed a run of success the past three years, however, and the challenge for this year will be to keep it going. This month, Buffzone.com is previewing each of Colorado's opponents, with this installment focusing on the Cougars, who visit Folsom Field on Nov. 10.

Under the direction of head coach Mike Leach, the Cougars have gone 26-13 overall the past three years and their 19-8 Pac-12 record has been topped only by Stanford and Southern California, which have both gone 21-6 in that stretch.
