Washington State's Offensive Crisis | Spokane News

Washington State’s offense is in freefall, sitting at 0-2 with QB Caden Pinnick throwing for under 100 yards — the worst since 2010 — while the line struggles with dismal blocking grades. Despite defensive promise and a close loss to rivals, the unit’s dysfunction is sparking questions about playcalling and coaching. Pinnick’s terse presser and constant offensive line shuffling reveal mounting frustration, while injuries to key defensive backs further cripple their ability to generate big plays. Facing underdog status against tough defenses, the team’s only hope lies in a win against Duquesne — a chance to reset before conference play intensifies.
