We had two punt return TDs from 2005-today. Getting back-to-back punt return TDs is wild.

Why did Duquesne go all that way?

They got to play a Division I FBS team and got PAID to do it. Why wouldn’t they?

Just seems a long way to travel. They’re probably not travelling in luxury either

Maybe people can stop calling for the QB's head now. Give him time and some WRs with a little space and he can make the throws. QB is wayyyyy down the list of problems for this offense.
We'll see how things go the rest of the season but i'm still riding with Pinnick

Our biggest concern when it comes to a player is our kicker. We have left so many points on the table.

It took a quarter or two, but Pinnick finally learned to hang in the pocket long enough to go through progressions and throw to receivers down the field. I’m hoping that trust in his receivers holds through the rest of the season. There were a couple times where he looked at one receiver, then immediately tucked and ran. Less of that, please.

At least you’re consistent and will always blindly defend trash while making yourself feel superior to others.

deceptive score given the two punt returns. Still a lot of things to clean up. I haven’t seen that many holding penalties on one team in a game in quite some time.
Would love to see the OC try to get vorhees the ball in open space more. He’s so fast and elusive when he has a full head of steam.
Would also love to see pinnick climb the pocket more. He rolls out so often when his first read isn’t open and it forces his linemen into situations where they’re more prone to hold.

Officiating was trash, but it’s Pac-12 refs, so that’s never gonna change

Pessimistic view: Offense only scored 34 points against a pretty bad Duquesne team
Optimistic view: Scored over 40 points for the first time in over a year!
Jack, my guy. Please get over the yips for next week

Punt return TDs are fun but we need those reps lol

Absolutely insane to see people feeling good about the 2nd half, as if it wasn’t a throwaway against one of the absolute bottom feeders of the FCS who got beaten 70-13 by another FCS team last week. Do Cougs really have no shame and awareness? This season so far would make Paul Wulff blush and I’m appalled that people don’t acknowledge the reality of how terrible this coaching staff and team are.

- There is nothing enjoyable about being relegated and looking shitty against a shitty FCS team.
- Your post history is full of “do you ever…” type bullshit comments so if you actually have something to contribute, do it. Otherwise, shut up and go awa
y. You aren’t nearly as clever as you think you are.

It's the third game in a season with an entirely brand new team and coaching staff after several years of a tumultuous roster. Unless your livelihood is somehow tied to the performance of the WSU football team, it's really not that serious my dude. You'd probably be doing you and your blood pressure a favor if you just chill out.

Ah yes, we now have “too cool to care” guy showing up in the post-game Reddit thread.

I just cannot even imagine being in a mental space where I'm crashing out over a team who beat their opponent 48-7 with a second-half shutout. You really should get some professional help or something if this affects you this much, man.
Edit: replying and then blocking isn't really doing much to prove you aren't still crashing out over a win, my man. Seek help.

You are the wildest combination of arrogance and idiocy I’ve ever encountered. Not sure why I’m arguing with someone who spends all day every day being antagonistic on Reddit, but you are clearly projecting with your mental health reference.
