Wanna hear some facts about today’s game?
1. Prior to today, Hawaii has never, ever won a game on the road against a BCS team. Today was their first.
2. Hawaii only returns one defensive starter from last year.
3. Hawaii barely beat Central Arkansas (is that even a school?) last week, and WSU put up as many points against Hawaii’s suspect D as they did: 20.
4. A running back from Pasco, WA – a WSU territory – scored the TD to put Hawaii up 21-0.
5. Here’s a direct quote from ESPN: “Even Hawaii’s linemen were faster than Washington State’s defensive backs. When Chima Nwachukwu picked up a fumble by Alexander at the Cougars 1 midway through the second quarter — 1 yard from Hawaii going up 42-0 — he briefly appeared free for a 99-yard score down the sideline. Then Warriors right tackle Laupepa Letuli ran him down and pushed him out of bounds at the WSU 31.”
What happened to Wazzu?
Here’s what WSU accomplished in the first few years of the 2000s:
1. Beat USC.
2. Beat Oregon.
3. Beat a team with Vince Young.
4. Went to the Rose Bowl.
5. Went to major bowl games.
How could this have happened? It’s quite possibly one of the greatest falls among BCS schools.
What makes it worse is that UW won a game today.
If we can’t beat SMU, it may be our turn to go winless for a whole season.
I love my Cougars, I just wish they’d give me more reasons to love them.
Please Coach Wulf, turn this thing around. No more letting teams jump out to 35-0 leads. No more giving up the ball 7 times in a game. No more letting opponents get over 500 yards from passing alone.
Please. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Concerned Cougar fans everywhere.
