Washington State outgained San Diego State 367 to 306, picked up 25 first downs, went 9 of 14 on third down and never punted. They still lost 26-20. Three failed fourth downs, a missed 53-yard field goal and a missed extra point made the difference, and the Cougs go into the bye at 1-8.WSU legend Jack Thompson, the Throwin’ Samoan, joins us for The Recap. He threw for 7,818 yards in Pullman, an NCAA record when he left, and went third overall in the 1979 NFL Draft. He also played for four different head coaches in four years, so he knows what churn does to a program. We start with Jim Walden, his senior-year coach, who passed away in July.Your Coug of the Week plays on Sundays. Gardner Minshew came off the bench in Dallas and threw a touchdown pass on each of Arizona’s last three drives of regulation, and the Cardinals won 33-30 in overtime. Owen Eshelman is the runner-up after a career-high 299 yards.We go around the whole league in Traversing the Pac, where No. 20 Boise State survived Texas State 46-45.
