- For all the attention on third-down failures where the Cougars are 2-of-23, Pinnick said the problems stem from much earlier in a series.
- The third-down failures have been a driving force in Wazzu's woeful offensive start to the season.
- The Cougars are dead last in FBS...
- Comment: It looked to me that , 1st down, 2nd down and 3rd down were all problems !

Monday Thoughts
- Game breakdown: People can disagree with me but a good OC can scheme a way for their OL to succeed.

Monday Thoughts
- QB: emphasizes the need for great route running, and "Vibe" with your QB I assume.

We don't have an offense?
- QB: Yearning for the days when we had a big gunslinger quarterback not an FCS midget and we could move the ball all over the field.

I don’t understand the comparison
- QB/LB: There will be outliers to point to not realistic when you look at the overall comparison P-4 G-6 and my point it gets worse not better.

3 instant takeaways: Cougs' problems are getting harder to ignore after loss at K-State
- Washington State's offense scored no points in the 34-7 loss at Kansas State; Jaylen Thomas supplied the only touchdown on a last-play pick-six. WSU gained 166 yards, including 65 passing, and averaged 3.3 yards per play. Through two road games against Power 4 opponents, the team has 17 points and averages 263.5 total yards.
- With standout receiver Tony Freeman sidelined by injury, WSU's blocking remained a major concern: Kansas State recorded four sacks and eight tackles for loss, while the Cougars ran for 101 yards on 30 carries. The report singled out left guard Kyle Martin's struggles but described problems across the offensive line.
- WSU converted only 2 of 12 third downs at Kansas State and is 2 of 21 through two games. Its defense allowed 10 of 16 conversions, after holding Washington to 4 of 12, and faced 74 plays versus WSU's 50 as Kansas State controlled possession 34:20 to 25:40.
- Kansas State rushed for 295 yards on 40 attempts against WSU. The Cougars barely blitzed for a second straight week and finished with no sacks and one hurry, although four-man pressure helped produce Thomas's two interceptions. The article does not establish that more blitzing is planned.
- Special-teams execution also hurt WSU: Jack Stevens's 37-yard field-goal attempt was blocked after a low kick, and the punt unit allowed a 62-yard return. Duquesne at home is the next chance to assess corrections after the two Power 4 road losses.
