PULLMAN – The Pac-12’s top defense had its worst performance of the season. The league’s worst defense, at least in terms of conference games, was at its absolute best.
Oregon came into Saturday’s game at Washington having conceded 16 points in Pac-12 play. Washington State had allowed a whopping 143. The Ducks gave up 31 points in a narrow win over Washington, while the Cougars conceded just 10 in a 41-10 blowout of Colorado.
WSU’s defense is starting to trend in the right direction ahead of a big North Division matchup in Eugene, while Oregon’s finally looked somewhat vulnerable.
