Stunned Cougars move on

PULLMAN – It was a confused company of Washington State University players who entered the media room in Gallagher-Iba Arena on Saturday night.

WSU’s season-opening drubbing has familiar feel

STILLWATER, Okla. – The first play was a simple run designed to go around right end, a way to ease into the season.
