Owen Eshelman made his first career start at Oregon State and the Cougs finally looked alive on offense: 289 passing yards, 136 rushing yards, three total touchdowns, and 30 points, WSU's most against an FBS team all year. They still lost 48-30. Now No. 21 Boise State comes to Pullman for Homecoming.
CouGreat defensive end Mkristo Bruce joins us in The Recap to grade his own keys from last week, talk through his excitement for WSU's newest QB, and throw on the tinfoil hat for a conspiracy or two.
Then B.J. Rains of Bronco Nation News joins the Weekly Preview to tell us what Boise brings to the Palouse, and why this one is a reunion: Kirby Moore played at Boise, Matt Miller played and coached there, and the WSU GM spent 27 years in Boise.
We also split the Coug of the Week between Eshelman and Branden Ganashamoorthy, go around the whole league in Traversing the Pac, and break down Boise State -13.5 (DraftKings) in Betting for the Week.
No. 21 Boise State at WSU, Saturday, Oct. 24, 3:00 PT on USA Network.
Cougs on the Couch is presented by Ben Cowboy Realtor.
