First look: EWU vs. WSU

Mon., Aug. 29, 2016

What is it: Washington State opens the season against Eastern Washington.

Where is it: Martin Stadium on the Washington State campus in Pullman.

When is it: The teams will kick off at 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 3.

Where can I watch it: On the Pac-12 Network and Pac-12 Washington.

What if I like to listen: You can listen to the broadcast on KXLY 920 on the AM dial, the WSU GameDay smartphone app, or TuneIn.com/WSU. The EWU broadcast is 700-AM ESPN.

Why WSU will win: As an FBS team, the Cougars have more resources, more scholarships to offer and simply more talent than the FCS Eagles.

Why WSU should worry: EWU’s Cooper Kupp is probably the best wide receiver WSU will face all season.

What happened last time: The Cougars beat the Eagles 24-20 in Pullman in their second game of the 2012 season to give Mike Leach his first win as Washington State’s head coach.
