It ain't pretty. On ESPN's Pac-10 blog today are two links to stories about Washington State's near-historic ineptness. I noted earlier that they are 40+ point underdogs against USC this weekend -- although that may be worse for USC than the Cougars.Some numbers for you:
Washington State is allowing 55.6 points/game through four league games and faces mighty USC next. The Cougars are 116th in scoring at 15.9 points/game despite playing the No. 100, 69, 68, 66, 55 and No. 27 scoring defenses as well as lower division Portland State. Overall in conference play against the impotent Pac-10 this year they have been outscored 223-33. Among those scores was a defensive touchdown, a garbage-time score and a field goal on a drive that went for negative four yards.
This is pathetic stuff.
