WSU's defense played at an insane level at home this season.  They get credit for MAKING our OL look like $#%&.

That said, Shaw made a lot of soft decisions which contributed to our putzing away this game.

I can't totally agree. WSU certainly played well on defense. However, the coaches knew what we were going to see. Our OL was probably well coached on what to expect. However, they played very poorly. The played very poorly at home last year as well (some personnel differences, true). The OL looked confused and frequently got physically beat, especially in the second half. On many plays, one or two OL blocked thin air or ran into each other. That isn't WSU, that's us.
We actually got beat much worse than the final score indicated. The defense held WSU to 24 points, and scored 6 of their own. That is all one can ask  of them.
