Cougars Face Big Test Against Kansas State | Spokane News

Washington State heads to Manhattan, Kansas, for their toughest early-season test yet — a road showdown against powerhouse Kansas State. Coming off a loss to No. 17 Washington and facing an 18.5-point spread, the Cougars’ offense struggled last week with turnovers and third-down woes, though their defense held strong in the first three quarters. Key receiver Tony Freeman may miss this one with a knee injury. Meanwhile, Kansas State dominated their FCS opener with a 71-3 rout, led by sharp-swinging senior QB Avery Johnson and a punishing running game. This Saturday at 9 AM PT on TNT, the Cougars must find a way to protect the ball and shock the Big 12 — or risk another brutal start.
