Maybe the Cougars got too high after starting quickly, maybe they were trying too hard because they wanted it so much, or maybe it’s because UW lands higher ranked recruits.
Maybe all those things were a factor in Washington State’s 31-13 loss to Washington on Friday at Husky Stadium, the seventh straight Apple Cup win for the Huskies.
Whatever the case, the UW defense grounded WSU’s Air Raid for the seventh straight season by mostly rushing three players and dropping eight into coverage, while occasionally sending a fourth player on a blitz. It has been a very successful formula for the Huskies in recent years.
