Cougars stuff stat sheets in a sweep over Texas State
Texas State came to Pullman and got stuffed. The stat sheets tell the story, and Coug fans are going to enjoy flipping through them. This wasn't a squeaker. The defense showed up, the offense did its work, and the final numbers look like a team that knew what it was doing. Good on them. It's been a week of mixed results across Cougar sports. The soccer team took a tough loss to Texas State too, and Coach Citowicki broke down what went wrong in our coverage. Worth a read if you want the honest version, not the press release. And on the football side, the Boise State game showed the Cougs can hang, even if the scoreboard didn't tilt our way in the end. But this one? This was clean. No drama. Just a win that looks exactly like what you want to see on the stat sheet. When the defense is that sharp and the offense doesn't waste trips into the red zone, you get a sweep. Go Cougs.
Kirby Moore breaks down the Boise State game without the coachspeak
Kirby Moore walked into that postgame room and did something rare for a coordinator: he talked like a human being. No coachspeak. No "we just need to execute better" nonsense. He broke down the Boise State game with the kind of honesty that makes you want to run through a wall for the guy, even if you're just reading it on a screen. Moore got specific about what worked and what didn't. When the Cougs punched back with that Vorhees touchdown to knot it up 7-7 at the half, he explained the adjustments that made it happen. And when Boise State took the lead back on a short field goal after Madsen drove them into the red zone, Moore didn't sugarcoat the defensive breakdowns. He called it what it was. That's refreshing. We already covered the broader picture in "Boise State got the win, but the Cougs didn't back down," and this breakdown fits right alongside it. Moore's film-room clarity gives you the why behind that fight. If you want to understand how the Cougs held their ground against a top-25 team, start here. This is the kind of football talk you'd have at the bar on College Hill, not in a press conference. Go Cougs.
