This is the time of the year where teams that were expected to have better seasons finally show up and play spoiler. :yup Found what I believe is one of those cases this weekend. The Ducks go to Pullman this weekend to play the Cougs. who have lost six in a row. WSU's last five games have been 3 pt. losses to Stan, UCLA, ASU. 4 pt's to Cal & blown-out by USC. The Ducks "O" has not been as impressive since the Clemens injury, now going w/ the 2 QB theory which will be a problem on the road for them. WSU will score with Harrison running the ball as they have piled up a ton of yds. this year. kurby 246 on Stanford, 330 UCLA, 178 Cal, 195 USC, & 223 ASU. Oregon has also given up over two hundred yds. rushing the last two weeks kurby (AZ, Cal). WSU has a solid "O" line which has only allowed a hand full of sacks this season. My only question mark is the Coug. "D" :scared look for them to treat this as their bowl game and play w/ emotion against a top 10 opponent. They did show a little improvement in the 2nd half last week holding ASU to 3 pts. look for more of the same.

Taking :mj23:
WASHINGTON ST. + 4 1/2 :mj23: over Oregon, as the Cougs get the out right win in the rain and cold.
