The Cougars, who have mastered the art of getting blown out this season, took it to another level Saturday in a 48-7 loss to Arizona.

Washington State won the toss but decided to defer its decision, and the Wildcats returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown, beginning an onslaught that saw Arizona take a 21-0 lead less than eight minutes into the game.

From there, it was the same old story, which has become exceedingly redundant for Washington State fans, as the Cougars never got back in the game. Their lone score came midway through the fourth quarter after Arizona led 48-0 and had emptied its bench.

Washington State is now 1-8 overall, 0-6 in Pac-10 play, and has lost every conference game by at least 13 points, and all but one by at least 21.

"They opened with that kickoff, and it's hard to open the game when you are down seven," linebacker Andy Mattingly told The Spokesman-Review.

Not that it likely would have mattered much in the long run, as the Cougars were again completely dominated despite Arizona going conservative pretty early on.

Arizona outgained Washington State 471-185, including a 294-59 edge in rushing.

"We had bodies always on people," coach Paul Wulff told the Spokesman-Review. "It seemed like we were in position, we just didn't make the play."

Making matters worse, starting quarterback Jeff Tuel left the game in the second quarter after suffering a slight subluxation of his kneecap. He didn't return and was replaced by Marshall Lobbestael, who threw a 64-yard TD pass to Jared Karsteter in the fourth quarter for Washington State's only points.

However, Wulff said the injury to Tuel isn't serious and didn't appear to rule out that he could play this week when the Cougars return to Pullman to play UCLA.

The Arizona game was Washington State's third straight on the road, a trio it lost a combined 137-48.

OK, I was one of the people at the beginning of the season that wanted to root for Paul Wulff and give him a chance. After two games this season his chances are over. My reason is not because he can not coach, but he can not prepare his teams at the start of games. I was at the Hawaii game and was disgusted with the lack of preparation and lack of motivation the cougs showed. I can not believe a t ...(more)

It seems like no one cares about the football team on here anymore. No one is writing or starting threads and the last thread we had on here was started by a duck a week ago. I know that game was a HUGE step back but the whole part about being a coug fan is sticking with it through it all... Its easy to be a Florida fan or a USC fan, but it takes heart to be a true coug fan. So lets go and encoura ...(more)

Hey Cougs,
Been quiet on the board this season, for obvious reasons.

This weekend I'm looking forward to though.  UCLA is clearly down at the bottom of the conference along with us this year which makes this our most winnable Pac-10 game so far.  UCLA never plays well against us, they especially never play well in Pullman (and the weather's supposed to have a high in the

If the season ended right now, Jeff Tuel would have the 5th highest season completion percentage in school history (He already has a qualifying amount of attempts).

COMPLETION PERCENTAGE (Min. 100)
1. .645 Timm Rosenbach, 1988 (218/338)
2. .609 Alex Brink, 2006 (241/396)
3. .608 Aaron Garcia, 1989 (115/189)
4. .606 Alex Brink, 2007 (305/503)

Our offensive line should be ashamed of themselves.  That was one of the more pathetic displays of attempting to block that I've ever seen.  I thought that with getting a few O-linemen back for this ND game that we would see a noticable improvement from them but what we really got was piss poor. 

I was thinking towards the end of the 3rd Qtr that we should pull Tuel

Compare this year to last year and you will see progress.  It's incremental, but it's there.  We're a young team, Wulff is still playing guys who weren't recruited for his system, and the PAC 10 is not an easy place to rebuild a program.  I think that next year we'll be competitive with the bottom tier of the conference and with the top tier the following year.  ...(more)

You've all seen the Shawshank Redemption, right?  When Red is sitting at the base of that old oak tree after being released on parole, reading Andy's letter?  Andy writes, "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things."  Now that's a great line . . .

We've played some good teams this year, and in some of those games, we have not only not embarrassed ourselve

What up my Wazzu brothers?

Football life in Pullman has been tough as of late. Hard to get a team healthy on a road trip to a pissed off USC.

And, now you get to come enjoy the hospitality of the Oregon Ducks.  Not the best timing for the Cougs as Oregon is starting to find its offense and the defense has actually played well this year.

I am thrilled tha

Is anybody else as excited as I am about the beginning of hopefully a great and long Jeff Tuel era of cougar football... I just read today that Wulff named him the starter against oregon on saturday... It's not like there was a better choice than what was made but it still nerve racking to be that 19 year old starting against a ranked oregon team at autzen... I mean im 19 and i would be incredibly ...(more)

(POLL) We get one lineman back, Tuel is healthy, were at home, and its going to be uncomfortably cold for the desert folk. Is that enough to win?

SMU lost that game more than we won it, in my opinion. We stunk for 3 quarters then the defense woke up in a big way. A few big plays landed in thier lap, credit to the D for taking advantage and going to the house, but what really got me excited is how they played the rest of the game. I was jumping around on my seat with joy watching them get around the blocks, hit and WRAP UP! Where was that pa ...(more)

Our best player is done for the season, maybe forever.  He had surgery on sunday for acute compartment syndrome, where blood pools in the calf and has nowhere to go.  Pressure builds and if not treated in time can result in amputation or even death.  A freak type of injury.

Anyways, it was caught quickly but not quick enough.  Doctors had to remove a significant port
