Was weather or coaching the bigger factor in the Apple Cup?

Perhaps the two go hand-in-hand. After all, it was the pass-heavy Cougars who struggled on offense while a snowstorm overtook their home stadium, so maybe they should have been ready for it.

“If they play on a sunny day, in nice weather, I think maybe it’s closer,” Mike Salk said.
