Ahead of this week’s landmark game in Pullman, we chatted with CougCenter’s Jeff Nusser for a little insight on WSU’s team at the 2018 CFB midway point.
1. WSU had a really inauspicious offseason. The Hilinski tragedy. The Tennessee coaching job-nevermind-nonjob. Departure of numerous coaching assistants including an excellent DC in Alex Grinch. Hercules Mata’afa is now a Minnesota Viking. Etc.
And yet here are the Cougs at 5-1, and really could be undefeated if not for the late-game USC letdown. How have you guys managed this surprisingly successful run thus far?
