With spring practices winding down for the Washington State Cougars, defense dominated the day in the 2021 Crimson and Gray Game, as Gray (defense) “beat” Crimson (offense) by a score of 74-37 using coach Nick Rolovich’s customized scoring system:
It’s not unusual for the defense to have the upper hand in these games, given that the personnel rotation that’s typical of a scrimmage tends to have less effect on defensive assignments than it does on the timing — and, in the case of the Run and Shoot, WR/QB reads — of the offense.
