The Week 7 Associated Press Washington State Football Poll is out, and it’s shaping up to be an exciting season for the Cougars. After a strong start to the season, Washington State is currently ranked No. 19 in the nation, and they are receiving votes in the AP Poll.
The Cougars have had a strong start to the season, with wins over Oregon State, Utah, and Stanford. They have also had some close losses to California and Oregon, but they have shown they can compete with some of the best teams in the nation.
Offensively, the Cougars have been led by quarterback Anthony Gordon, who has thrown for 2,719 yards and 23 touchdowns. He has been able to spread the ball around to his talented receiving corps, which includes Dezmon Patmon, Easop Winston Jr., and Brandon Arconado. The Cougars have also been able to run the ball effectively with Max Borghi and Jamir Thomas leading the way.
Defensively, the Cougars have been led by linebacker Jahad Woods, who has recorded 53 tackles and four sacks. He has been able to lead a defense that has allowed just 20.3 points per game, which ranks No. 22 in the nation. The Cougars have also been able to create turnovers with nine interceptions and seven fumble recoveries.
The Cougars have a tough road ahead of them as they face off against No. 11 Utah this weekend. If they can come away with a win, it would be a huge boost for their season and could potentially propel them into the top 15 of the AP Poll. It’s going to be an exciting game to watch, and it could be a defining moment for the Cougars’ season.
