Washington State faces Oregon State in a crucial matchup on Saturday, with the Cougars hoping to overcome a 18 1/2 point deficit. The key to WSU's defense will be containing OSU's star freshman wide receiver Jesse Legree, who leads the country with 12 receiving touchdowns and has scored all six weeks without any drops. WSU's defensive duo of Matyus McLain and Linus Zunk will need to generate pressure on OSU quarterback Braden Atkinson, who has been unstoppable with both passing and rushing the ball.
If WSU can limit Oregon State's offense or get a big performance from freshman QB Owen Eshelman, they might have a chance. However, Oregon State will likely rely on their potent offense, led by Atkinson and Legree, to pull off another dominant victory. WSU linebacker Keith Brown expressed his desire to win out, stating, "I want to win out. I think we have the talent to win out."
