Grading the Cougars: B+

The Spokesman-Review

Quarterback: B+

After a 449-yard game? Yes, there were more available.

Running backs: B

When Ivory hit the hole hard, the yards were there.

Receivers: B+

Collins down the seam, Gibson outside, Bumpus in the middle. Enough said.

Offensive line: B

Where do you think the holes come from? Not the best on short yardage.

Defensive line: B

They clogged the middle, but Pritchard was able to get outside too often.

Linebackers: B+

It was Trent’s week to supply the pressure and get the two sacks.

Defensive backs: B+

They’ve gotten better and better and this week Abdullah put the game away.

Special teams: C-

Four field goals more than offset by poor kickoff coverage and muffed kickoff.

Coaching: B

Even Doba admitted it might have been better to kick a couple more field goals.
