The Washington Huskies crushed the Washington State Cougars 24-10 in the Apple Cup, exposing deep offensive flaws for WSU’s new coach Kirby Moore. The Cougars failed to convert on eight straight third downs, turned the ball over twice, and gained barely over 100 yards in that stretch. Key receiver Tony Freeman went down with an injury, adding pressure as offensive coordinator Matt Miller’s predictable inside runs stalled against a top-tier Huskies defense. While QB Caden Pinnick found success outside the pocket and receivers Daniel Blood and Darrius Clemons shined, the real test lies ahead: can WSU adapt quickly enough to unlock explosive plays and win crucial conference games?
