WSU Football Struggles in Rough Road Loss | Spokane News

Washington State’s football team suffered a brutal 34-7 loss on the road against Kansas State, exposing serious offensive and defensive woes. The offense managed just 166 yards and failed to convert most third downs, scoring only once — via a missed field goal. Defense struggled mightily, surrendering 487 yards and multiple big plays, including a 75-yard touchdown run. Constantly forced to play due to Washington State’s inability to sustain drives, the defense had little chance to recover as Kansas State controlled the game with 34 minutes of possession. Jaylen Thomas shined early with two interceptions, including a touchdown that cut the deficit to 17-7, but Kansas State answered with another long score at halftime, sealing the outcome. With a 0-2 record after back-to-back road losses, the new coaching staff faces an uphill battle as they navigate roster changes and build chemistry. A much-needed break comes next week, but conference play looms — and time is running out to fix these glaring issues.
