Washington State Cougars Ready for Road Test Against Ole Miss Rebels
Offensive Challenges
Washington State Cougars have had a mixed performance on the offensive side this season. Ranked 80th with 103 points, their ability to score consistently has been limited. Their passing game, while not at the top, is ranked 76th with 1,142 yards.
The rushing attack has been a major hurdle for the Cougars, ranking 123rd with only 402 yards. This aspect of their offense will need improvement if they hope to challenge Ole Miss effectively.
