The Washington State Cougars are trying to flush the memory of last Saturday’s debacle, but there is no soft landing on tap as the team travels to Salt Lake City to face the talented Utah Utes.
As you probably know by now, the Utes also are coming off a pretty devastating loss. It’s not devastating in the same way that WSU’s was, but it’s bad nonetheless as it’s possible that their loss to the USC Trojans torpedoes their hopes and dreams for this season just four games into the campaign.
Rice-Eccles Stadium is a place where the Cougars haven’t had much trouble the last couple of times out, but this one figures to be a fist-fight between two teams who desperately need a win to keep their season goals alive.
