• Before we get to that tidbit, this is what I know about Tuel. Supposedly he took a blow to the head – didn't see that on the small replay I got – but is not showing any signs of a concussion. However, they are being cautious and are examining him at this time. We'll check it right away and put what we see up on Twitter (vinceg55). ... We had to go all the way back to Nov. 10, 2007 to find the last time WSU had a halftime shutout. That occurred against Stanford at Martin Stadium. WSU led 10-0 ... Stats are heavily weighted in WSU's favor. The Beavers have 124 yards of total offense, WSU 214, 113 of them rushing. Tuel has 66 rushing yards. Rodgers has 57 on 11 carries. ... The Cougar defensive line has dominated up front, with Casey Hamlett having two sacks, Brandon Rankin one. Bernard Wolfgramm and Travis Long also have been disrupting the OSU offense.
