Another game week begins

It’s Monday and that means the start official start of the Spokesman Review’s game week. The Cougars have been thinking about this game since the last one, but we start looking ahead with our weekly First Look at WSU’s opponent.

The Cougars have just a few more days in Pullman before heading to Reno, Nevada to take on the Wolf Pack. Picking up the season’s first win will be a challenge for Washington State, which opens as a three-point favorite over Nevada.

We have more links after the jump.
