In preparation for this film study, Jeff Nusser of CougCenter joined me on the Quack 12 Podcast to chat about the Washington State roster and what we saw against Oregon State. You can find that podcast episode HERE.

Offense

With the hiring of new HC Rolovich, this offseason Wazzu changed from one iconic offense, the Air Raid, to another, the Run & Shoot. I was eager to see how that would play out with shortened preparation time, and I think we got a lot of answers last Saturday. While there are a number of key structural differences between the Cougs’ offense in 2020 compared to the last eight years — most significantly the route tree, the running back deployment, and the blocking scheme — overall I found more similarities than I was expecting.
