Cougars report: Strategy and personnel
LOOKING GOOD
QB Alex Brink -- He had a fumble and an interception, but also completed 20-of-23 passes for 187 yards.
S Eric Frampton -- He finished with 16 tackles in playing a key role in limiting Oregon's running game.
DE Lance Broadus -- With opponents ganging up on teammate Mkristo Bruce, the nation's leader in sacks, he's picking up some of the slack and had a sack and two quarterback hurries.
WR Michael Bumpus -- He's becoming one of the best possession receivers around and turned in eight catches for 74 yards against the Ducks.
STILL NEEDS WORK
PK Loren Langley -- The inconsistent junior had an extra point blocked and also missed a 31-yard field goal in the fourth quarter.
WR Brandon Gibson -- A week after his breakout game against Cal, he was held to one catch for one yard.
RB Demaundray Woolridge -- Still struggling to overcome a thigh bruise suffered in the first game, he had six yards on three carries.
ROSTER REPORT
The Cougars suffered four potentially significant injuries. WSU played much of the game without DTs Aaron Johnson (elbow) and Ropati Pitoitua (MCL sprain), with reserves Bryan Tarkington and Matt Eichelberger filling in. CB Tyron Brackenridge, who returned an interception for a touchdown, hurt his hamstring, and G Andy Roof injured a heel.
