The Washington State Cougars offense had another disappointing performance in their fifth consecutive loss to the Stanford Cardinal on Saturday. The Cougars had just 14 points in the game, and were unable to move the ball consistently against a Stanford defense that has been one of the best in the Pac-12 this season.
The Cougars have struggled on offense all season, and Saturday was no different. They were unable to establish a consistent running game, and quarterback Anthony Gordon was under constant pressure from the Stanford defense. He was sacked five times and threw two interceptions, both of which were returned for touchdowns.
The Cougars were also unable to take advantage of their opportunities when they had them. They had several chances to score in the red zone, but were unable to convert those opportunities into points. They also failed to capitalize on a few big plays, including a long pass that was dropped in the end zone.
The Cougars have now lost five straight games to Stanford, and their offense has been a major factor in those losses. They have been unable to establish a consistent running game, and their passing attack has been inconsistent at best. They have also been unable to take advantage of their opportunities when they have them, which has been a major factor in their losses.
If the Cougars want to turn things around, they will need to find a way to get their offense going. They need to establish a consistent running game, and they need to take advantage of their opportunities when they have them. If they can do that, then they may be able to turn things around and get back on track.
