WSU Cougars’ offensive line problems stemmed from communication issues

The Cougars had 10 penalties in the season opening loss to EWU. Seven of the 10 came on offense

It’s tough to win a football game when you’re getting knocked backward by penalties at every juncture, and that’s exactly what happened to Washington State Saturday night.

The Cougs had 12 penalties for a loss of 101 yards in their 45-42 season opening defeat to Eastern Washington. Much to head coach Mike Leach’s displeasure, many of these penalties came at critical moments and ultimately derailed positive drives.
