Two INTs, missed FG, several punts, and IIRC one turnover on downs. Our red zone offense continued to struggle.
Yeah, we got over four hundred of our five hundred yards on six drives.
Three were TD's, one was an interception, one was a missed field goal, and the other was just a case of us running out of time at halftime.

Just a case of us running out of time at halftime? Thought we finished the half with two timeouts left?

Hasn't Shaw already been properly excoriated for that?

Not commenting on the act itself, commenting on the candy coating of it.

So, I didn't watch the game either, but what you are asking is something that can easily be gleaned from looking at the play-by-play. I am going to assume that the question was serious and not trolling, but this is something that you can easily look up yourself, here:
https://www.espn.com/college-football/playbyplay?gameId=401114231
Here's the math:
| Drive | Start | End | Yards | Outcome |
| 1 | Stan 29 | WSU 34 | 37 | Punt |
| 2 | Stan 25 | WSU 44 | 31 | Punt |
| 3 | Stan 25 | TD | 75 | TD |
| 4 | Stan 1(!) | TD | 99 | TD |
| 5 | Stan 25 | WSU 33 | 42 | End of half |
| 6 | Stan 25 | WSU 21 | 54 | Missed FG |
| 7 | Stan 17 | TD | 83 | TD |
| 8 | Stan 25 | Stan 26 | 1 | Punt |
| 9 | Stan 25 | Stan 48 | 23 | INT |
| 10 | Stan 25 | WSU 11 | 64 | INT |
| 11 | Stan 25 | Midfield | 25 | Turnover on downs |
So basically, we had three drives that ended in a touchdown, for 75, 83, and 99 yards; that's 257 yards; those are above average length touchdown drives. We also had two drives that ended in an interception, accounting for another 87 yards. We also "wasted" a fair bit of yardage with two drives that ended in a punt from our opponents side of the field (another 68 yards), plus a drive that moved 42 yards in 3 plays in 25 seconds but ended with the end of the half. Lastly, we missed a 39 yard field goal from the WSU 21 (another 54 yards that led to zero points). So, sum total, we had 6 drives that together gained 251 yards (an average of 42 yards per drive) but netted zero points. Unlike in prior weeks, we had no three-and-outs, and our shortest drive was a six-play 1 yard drive that ended in a pass for -5 yards and a 7 yard sack. In fact that was the only drive that failed to gain at least 20 yards.

Thanks, BC.
I will conclude that was terrible defense against even worse offense and very good offense against bade defense.
WSU is quite clearly the superior team.
